Today I found an old Log book, and found two Shackletons I had flown in many yrs ago. I posted on Historic, to see if anyone knew their whereabouts,(ID Numbers given). pagon 01 stated he possibly knew the fate of one of them, nr him, scrapped.The same happened to the second, elsewhere.
So, guys and gals, if I could turn back time, I would try and get WB 822, in somewhere like Duxford, so I could go there now with my Grandchildren and say, “I flew in that”.
What would you do or change if you could turn back time?.

But if somebody invented a time machine how long do you think the queue would be for people wanting to go back and change things.
Good question, but if I owned it, and charged a Tenner a time,then the more the merrier.:D

There’s no point developing a time machine because I would just come back from the future to tell myself how I did it and since I haven’t then I didn’t.

Save some spare Victor Rolls Royce Conways! :rolleyes:
I tend to agree completely with what SH says. Looking whistfully over your shoulder achieves little, I feel.

Blue 2 I tend to disagree with you both, an example of which, would be the number of divorces, how many have thought to themselves, “Never again”, and then get married again?.
And you said, re R.R. Conway engines, so you would change something.if you could.;)

Ah, yes – we should all try to learn and benefit from our mistakes. Hindsight shows how we might have done something better but in itself teaches us little. I don’t think I want to erase anything. Good and bad have both contributed to how we are so, have had an equal role to play in the indivuals we have become.

[QUOTE=Sky High;1749147]Nothing, Linc. The past is the past and I cherish the great times and try to forget the bad.
I like the way you say, “And try and forget the bad”, so, wouldn’t you like to be able to erase those bad times if you had the chance?. I most certainly havn’t lead a charmed life, far from it, and there is a miriade of things I would change.
Isn’t this where the phrase “Hindsight is a wonderful thing” springs to mind.

Nothing, Linc. The past is the past and I cherish the great times and try to forget the bad. But I am more interested in the present and what of the future I have left.
