Snapper, it was your post on here a while back that spurred me into doing my bit this year, so many thanks.

I’ve spent a morning and an afternoon selling Poppies just opposite Lincoln Cathedral and I must admit it got a positive reaction. One of the strangest incidents I experienced though was when a group of three, admittedly quite scruffy and noisy, teenagers came up and deposited quite a large amount of change in the box. I thanked them and they thanked me but they would not wear a poppy or a sticker despite clearly supporting the campaign. It seemed sad that they didnt feel comfortable enough to wear them.

“There’s no way it would fit in my hangars and I just hope it goes to a good
home”

it deserves at least one good home in its post r.a.f life !!!

I wouldn’t expect a reply from Bertie, it so often happens, A member makes a quite clearly unacceptable remark and then disappears rather than apologise. A bit like what happened with the English Comedian / Spitfire thread.

Thanks for keeping us up to date Ashely,

David, do you know a rough figure on how much it would cost to obtain a Chipmunk in full flying condition? Just out of curiosity.

best regards, steve
