Its been coming for a long time, and frankly I’m amazed that some aircraft have lasted as long as they have. In time, we will lose every large aircraft kept outdoors without regular maintenance, and many of the smaller ones as well.

As much to do with the army of volunteers no longer being around to care for them ? Many of whom worked on the
aircraft when they were in service.

Thanks

Very nice, not seen that before.

What are the significant differences between the Seafire and equivalent Spitfire ?
Apart from the tailhook, is the U/C uprated ?

For things like weddings, christenings and funerals a suit and tie, not to mention a well polished pair of shoes, is the only accepted style of dress for a man. At least that’s my opinion regardless how unfashionable and behind the times my thinking may be.

I agree. Maybe it’s an age thing ? As I get older I seem to go to funerals quite regularly, and It’s not unusual to
see youngsters in pretty casual attire.
It is nice to dress up now and again. Perhaps different if you’ve had a job where a suit was the everyday norm ?

As you no doubt realized, my post was (slightly) tongue in cheek.

We didn’t have children by choice, but it must be upsetting for those unable to have children, to
be constantly reminded of the fact. With friends and family telling how well their children are doing.

They’ve been around for a while.
We flew from Jersey to Guernsey on one, way back in 1984. When we went on our honeymoon.

YES !! (breathes sigh of relief)
