mine were told that they obviously didn’t love their mother as they said they had a nice day out with me…. :rolleyes:

In US divorce cases parents are told not to bad mouth the other parent in front of, or to, the kids….. as you can see, my ex had a slight problem with that. She’s been told that if she doesn’t take the mental health help she has been offered, she won’t see the kid again until the kid is 18.. Court on Tuesday…

I see two possibilities…

1, You’re lacking in the trouser dept.

2, She’s a slag.

I wondered whether any of you have any tips on how to determine what particular mark of Spitfire or Seafire one is looking at. There are so many different variations I get muddled.

I can think of the following recognition points, but maybe the cognoscenti can suggest others.

1. Number of prop blades.
2. Cockpit: Malcolm hood or bubble
3. Armament: 20 mm cannon or machine guns.
4. Wing tips: clipped or not
5. Number of engine exhaust covers

I thought of building my own spreadsheet or flowchart, but wondered if this sort of thing in print or on the internet somewhere.

6, Rad scoops
7, Upper engine cowl bulges
8, Rudder shape

I managed to get this picture of him in front of a much later Avro machine before he left.

Not *that* much later in the general scheme of things, only 11 years seperate the Lanc from the Vulcan: Jan 8th ’41 to Aug 30th ’52 😉
