Hear hear! That’s also something I find in the job, many of my European colleagues have a fantastic grasp of English. As I have only a smattering of French and German, my colleagues at work and the Europeans (and others) on here put me (and I would imagine most Brits) to shame on a regular basis.

Steve,

Of wil je soms ook een beetje Nederlands leren?

translate mode on:

Or do you want to learn a bit Dutch as well?

I can always start by teaching you the foul language, that seems to be remembered better, at least that’s what Ian Foster told me and he swears beautifully in Dutch. I only had to tell him to keep it down a bit while in a Pub in Amsterdam last year 😮 .

Guess :rolleyes:

Pity I don’t like flying much, used to. But a flight in an very old EasyJet 737 in a storm over the Channel and a near collision with an ultralight over the Bristol Channel calmed things down a bit (channel? must be a pattern here). 😡

Florian,

How about helping out at Duxford, there is an Ambassador that needs some work.

Peter,

I didn’t say that, I haven’t looked into the Anson/Halifax throttle similarity as I hadn’t noticed. But I want to make sure as much original material as I can find is incorporated. The Anson throttles could be plan B, if nothing original turns up.

Thanks for the tip. And I always thought I liked planting ideas into other people’s brain 😉

Thanks Harm-Jan,

Well, all I can say at the moment is: watch this space :rolleyes:

Perhaps they would be interested in the Short Empire flying boat that sunk near Bodö.
