I take it you are building a full sized replica then??

And what has New Zealand got to do with this?

You replied and from New Zealand.

No I am not building anything at the moment,oiling my zimmer is the best I can manage now!

“Less material cost to build;
Less cost to run;
Less cost in hangarage;
Some people are smaller than others”

So reading between the lines NewZealand is populated with tight fisted midgets(sorry vertically challenged people)

Next points

“Building to a scaled replica plan means it’s an experimental homebuild type of aircraft and not a warbird so less hassle from CAA;”

So if its 99.9% full size would that apply?

“Just a few thoughts. I would prefer the real thing but some scaled replicas can look pretty neat and the owners have loads of fun buillding, owning and flying them, so why not?”

Why not indeed but if you are within the width of a Gnats foreskin why not go the last mile?

May I just pose a question or two. If I wanted to change my name to the “N” word, would I be allowed to?, by Deed Pole?.
We all have a Christian name, mine is James or jim, what if I took exeption to being called James instead of Jim, would the P.C Brigade take up the cudgel on my behalf?. of course not, so why the hell are they doing it for a lovely looking black lab?.

Well that would go down like a lead balloon here in Bristol. The PC brigade want to apologise for the slave trade on our behalf, remove the statue of Sir Edward Colston and rename Blackboy Hill which is at the top of Whiteladies Road! As for calling yourself Nigger …….. That is a greating between two Black guys as a term of endearment. I am 66 years old now and I always remember my grandfather saying “get the nigger brown kiwi out of the cupboard I want to polish me boots” I was brought up in Tottenham and when I was seven we had a black cat called nigger and every night my Mother or Father would put their head out of the front door and call him in by name. If that was now I think they would be ex parents!

You could change the name to “Trigger” and Guy Gibson to Roy Rogers that should keep the Americans happy!
I for one will stick to the original film which I consider an all time classic.

I wonder what the PC brigade would make of the episode when they were dressed as Nazi’s

The quote that never fails to have me laugh outloud from Pike(dressed as a German Officer)

“Gut afternoon mein host. 16 shandies mit the ginger beer.”

No new comedy comes close to Dads Army mores the pity( or perhaps I am to old to appriciate it)

Well if you need one can’t we get one we exported back?
