I’ve just driven through South Croydon past a swarm of the thieving scroats looting Richer Sounds. There was a procession of them marching up Croham Road with teles, speakers etc on their shoulders.

On every corner there was a kid on a bike speaking on their mobile. This is being stage-managed and it’s got nothing to do with anyone getting shot in Tottenham.

Easy on that hair trigger, Peter. I’ve quoted a seller’s name from the last sale. He’s already set up a new Ebay account for this batch of sales so it may be of limited use in spotting him again, but surely identifying such obvious “misleaders” is in everyone’s interest? What defence could he have for selling this “relic” as a Mk.I Spitfire prop?

This is the last time this extraordinary relic surfaced on ebay http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?t=107246.

It seems to have shed the fake provenance of it originating from the prototype and despite the seller (in their previous incarnation) being advised that it couldn’t possibly be from a Mk.I Spitfire, it’s still advertised as such. The seller can hardly plead ignorance when even a cursory bit of investigation via google would confirm this.

If you view the other two items listed by this seller, the “Moorcroft Vase” was listed before by Cazbo_123 and the dates of the photos tie up with Cazbo_123’s last foray into misrepresenting Spitfire blades.

Does this look any more familiar?

Perhaps the more pertinent question should be why posters who post on threads who are serially provocative, vitriolic and verbally aggressive are allowed to remain?

They remain because the moderation/admin team choose to allow them to remain. You might regard that as a failure or you may choose to regard it as allowing balancing forces to remain in play.

Kev, the subject of Lance’s glowing credentials as a mod is one subject where we’ll have to disagree. I’ve seen Lance goad people to the point where he can throw his weight around several times and I can’t remember a time when he’s admitted when he’s wrong, preferring to throw his weight around instead. Perhaps it’s better if he played on a level field instead?

a question would be.. why are those who are banned allowed to return. can think of several people here who simply made new accounts after they were banned.

Yes, I can think of one particularly troublesome member who reinvented themselves after a ban.

Happy 50th Kev

The in the correct way to introduce a subject into a story or comment would be to give it its full title or description, be it animal, vegetable or mineral,
there after you can shorten it for ease of writing.
ie Battle of Britain memorial flight Lancaster b1 PA474 becomes PA474 only in the rest of the text.
yes! not everyone is a hardened cabbage in the aviation world but i suppose it is assumed by that people that add to this forum that others who join it would have abit more than a passing interest.
i dont know every number like a train spotter but i do know some of the historical aircraft that count!.
im also x RAF and in there the aircraft that you work on are refered to by the serial number. a common practice that slips over to everyday forum talk unfortunately for some
it is a good point you made though and in future i wont be so assuming in further threads

OK, so if I stick Lancaster in-front of PA474 will you introduce correct punctuation and grammar into your posts in return?

Phil, is the Brough at the IWM ?
