    Like 91 said the deal on the repaint was far far too good to pass on,

    The glossy finish will help with the maintanance of the aircraft and its far far easyer to keep clean, what with th UK climate a bare metal aircraft stored out doors wouls nor fair too well the cost if keeoing it clean would drasticaly curtail the flying side.

    Not Biggin Hill but Southend what this dose not show are the dumped loads of friendly bombers out the the Estuary, this map was only on show for a short amount of time along with a book listing all the sites one just a few doors up from my house was a High Explosive bomb of arround 500lbs!

    When people have put you down all your life and have taken the chance to ridicule you and make fun of you at every given opitunity it hurts it gets deep inside your head it is no more or less a form of bullying you never forget.

    I did not set out to p!ss you off, but with dislexia its hard to fully understand some postings and no matter how many time you read it it still ends up jumbled in your head much like a box of puzzle pieces in a box, no matter how hard you seach for the right bits you can put them or it in to the propper order.

    I find it to put the words in my head in to written (or typed) form its just one of those things,

    lets face facts MS Spellcheck is not 100% right all time, when I have used it there has been times where I have beleve I got the word right only for spellcheck to give me a word completely diffrent.

    Grammar and word choice notwithstanding, the below is the result of 20 seconds work in MS Word:

    No offence but…

    Why should I have to use MS Word Spellcheck just to post on a forum,

    Nobody is perfict we all have some form of disability or aera of our life which no matter how hard we try you just can not improve on, for some its a mental problem for others health some have both,

    I suffer from a nerurological illness that will never be cured, I have fought against it all my life had had to undergo major operations on my neck and spine to remove tumours that thankfully have all been benign, I never know when or where anothr of these tumours will grow, currently there are over 200 throughout my body some are underthe skin whilst most form on the surface of the skin showing as unslightly purple nodules smothering my body, the condition also effects parts of the brain resulting in various forms of dislexia fortuantly this part is only mild in me resulting in silly spelling and grammer mistakes such as getting leters round the wrong way in some words.

    I do attempt to check what I have put but using a spell checker would defet the object of me trying my best to me it would be a form of cheating myself out of what I have tryed to do.

    If people cant accept me for who I am than it your tough cookie and if you dont like it make an complaint to the moderators to have me removed, however we do live in a country that should be morfe tollerant towards those that have disabilitys I may have all my arms and legs working I may be able to see and hear just because somebodys disabilty is not visable dose not mean thay are not disabled.
