This probably means that they don’t bother to check anything, instead passing on the responsibility of “policing” their business to the individuals that use it; when I report (usually blatant fraud) the narrow list of options available (as to quite how the item breaks ebay rules) usually doesn’t cater for;

” complete scumbag who has set up a bogus account purely for the purpose of stealing money and/or personal details, using a hacked photo and description from a legitimate seller”

Perhaps we could all make an effort to get along? sarcasm is a brilliant invention (and I make use of it daily) but I have found on the internet it doesn’t always come across as light heartedness, and of course some times it isn’t meant to…

Many of the forum members that frequented these pages 10 years ago no longer visit, some never will come back, others (like me) drift back hoping things have changed; for me they have, and this forum is, (in my own opinion, I hasten to add) the best of the rest, and it would be a great shame if it descended into the depths that was the Burma thread, which frankly became an embarrassment.

It has been said before, but perhaps worth reiterating; “you build what you want to build, and let others build what they want”

Just in the same way that Richard Branson has been berated for not single handedly saving all of the world’s endangered aircraft, it is expected that anyone embarking on a build project must only concentrate on either an extinct type or else one that is virtually so.

Many of these projects fall by the wayside, but this one does seem like it will go all the way; with regards to the “ad blurb” I’m sure that no slur to Supermarine or the British nation as a whole was intended, most likely performance at low level would be better given that almost certainly it will be unarmed and that instruments and comms will most likely be of the modern variety (anyone who has ever felt the weight of a Spitfire panel fully loaded, will know just how heavy they are as well as that radiogram size radio)

Looks a nice strong trailer, however you can have a blow out, or lose a wheel on a four wheeler and keep it sunny side up; a trick not recommended with two wheel trailers….

I think it might have something to do with the fact that post war Japan to him was 1974! it’s only obvious that the country had changed by then; I think as a Japanese if you had experienced the atomic bomb (s) everything had to change; if he had held out for just a bit longer he would have missed the cold war entirely!

Project-9699 PM sent; didn’t see the attachment you sent until after! Sugar lane is opposite the entrance to our farm, and the field in question looks to be the one at this end with the wood roughly in line with the runway approach; I’ve always wondered if Finches farm (house) was occupied during the active days of the airfield, as it is squarely in line with the runway approach!

“I rather get the impression that the F100 was a bit like the Luftwaffe’s F104s – want a jet fighter? Just buy a field, and you’ll get a jet in it before long”.

I’ve got a field on the end of the eastern approach , apparently they did have something crash in there during the war, not sure what though as details are a bit sketchy, nothing flying out of there now, not even the gliders this year.
