I appoligise but as i said was all i remember was a 2 or 3 raxor back spitfires there. I cant tell the marks apart.

If you can’t tell the different Spitfire marks apart, then what possible use was your response. Please entertain the notion that not every post on this forum is an invitation for an Ollie Holmes response. This forum’s declined enough without becoming the Ollie Holmes Historic Aviation Forum.

You don’t have to answer EVERY thread or every post. Your enthusiasm is obvious, please don’t lose it. You’ll find yourself on less ignore lists if you stick to responding when you either know the answer to someone else’s questions or have one of your own.

Imagine yourself in a room chatting to people about a subject that you’re all interested in. How would you view someone who stood on the table and shouted a load of nonsense 161 times in three days?

Kev, Ian, you both know that this isn’t going to improve anything. Several opportunities to improve this place have been squandered so why should you think that raising the subject once more will do anything except provide glee for those who only come out to derive pleasure from the disquiet?

Mmm, Historic Aviation?

The connection is thin…….. but robust?

I’d like to thank the Collection. It means a great deal.

Rob

I can’t think why anyone would want to delete such thoughtful words.

Neal, it looks like the thread’s been pulled. That’s a great shame since Steve’s contribution to it was very moving indeed. The thread starter didn’t delete the thread, so perhaps the mods could restore it for us.

Steve was genuinely one of life’s good guys. He always had something sensible to say when everyone else was more interested in being idiots. A very wise head on young shoulders. He also told some of the worst jokes I’ve ever heard and got away with it. He certainly had a passion for life and and a deep-seated sense of responsibility and respect. It’s such a shame that his life has been cut off so suddenly and early.

My feelings go out to Haydn, Julie and Steve’s parents. Our feelings of loss pale when compared to what you must feel.

I’m really going to miss Steve. A great friend, a great bloke. Someone to look up to.

Bye Steve.
