Head & tails without a turret.
Harlingen, Tx. October 1989
I’m ok with a B.25 tail.
Southern California July 1991.
Dead sparrowhawk….. which could lead onto a dead parrot….. which could lead onto every one singing….
I’m a lumberjack and I’m OK
I sleep all night and I work all day
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavat’ry
On Wednesdays I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea
I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I love to press wild flow’rs
I put on women’s clothing………………………..
No better stop this here or we could all be in trouble.
So, moving from a dead sparrowhawk to the ‘dead sparrows’ who used to fly Gnats (but not in this colour).
(Must go back to the pub and get another pint.)

Another twin at Duxford.
Add a few more engines & a couple of fins, and these two are definitely not scrap.
EAA Oshkosk July 1992.
This one “not scrap”, but needs quite a bit of work.

Some people don’t read. They just watch TV all day :D:D
RIAT Fairford July 2007.
Ah yes, the Calvados tip.
Not all Calvadosses (?) are created equal.
Start with the most expensive you can afford and work down the price scale. After a couple, quality will cease to matter.
Moggy
After a few more Calvadi(?), most things will cease to matter:eek:
