[QUOTE=Ewan Hoozarmy;1576206]Hey, i’ve never been accused of being “bristling” before…
Put it this way. We all went to great expense & trouble to take some old aeroplanes to North Weald in typical crap summer weather for people to start moaning that “they look wrong”…Any wonder we get naffed off by it?

To bristle : react angrily…was that not valid ? I do understand your statement above : I wasn’t moaning, and apologise if that seemed to come across : my only intended point was that the monochrome photograph of the Spitfire (look at it again) with no ‘modern’ background clutter, no haircuts from Natasha in the High Street, no hi-viz baseball cap backwards, just looked so good : rather nostalgic , reflecting the period, and if you prefer, old-fashioned. We are fortunate that you and many others like you go to the trouble and yes,considerable expense, to let us all enjoy your aircraft. A sunny summer’s day would be preferable certainly, and as I have cast my vote today let’s hope the new government can do something about that!
So no more misunderstandings please, no offence intended, I assure you, and let’s bury our hatchets on that conciliatory note. By the way, when you’re not flying a Tiger Moth, what’s your usual mount, is it in the shots above?:)
