Ryanair punctuality in my experience is easily achieved, because the published flight time is much more than that usually required. I am frequently up to half an hour early at my destination when flying with them.

The mightiest radial

Here’s a sectioned Pratt & Whitney Wasp Major R-4360, with its 28 cylinders that once produced 3000 horsepower.
Displayed at The Tennessee Museum of Aviation, Sevierville.

Having now read PPRUNE I feel a bit better about my next venture into US airspace!

I use CorelDraw, much easier to learn and use than Adobe Illustrator, and early versions can be purchased for next to nothing on the web. Being vector-based, you draw lines and curves, rectangles and circles take no time at all! Repetitive items can be copied and if necessary modified (e.g. different gauge markings). Been doing it for years to illustrate Volvo bus instrument panels!

Nothing at all in my little library!
Strangely, he doesn’t appear as an entry in “Who’s Who in Aviation History” by William H Longyard, although there are a number of other notable people missing from that book too.
Couldn’t find anything via Google on the web, either.

Great album, John!
Similarly my stepmother threw out all my Dad’s memorabilia when he died – mostly Fleet Air Arm photos from the 1930s onwards. I was too late returning from Sweden!

G-AIUE written off 26 August 1962 (my 19th birthday, but it wasn’t me, honest!)

Surely modern computer enhancement means that for film work any gun flashes, fire, smoke, etc. can be added afterwards?

Unfortunately the only post advertised by the RAF Museum just now is for a “Visitor Service Assistant”.
I always wondered what the official name was for those chaps standing in the corner looking bored!
