I think these sort of comments are a bit below the belt old chap (and Rebecca)

This is a public forum with lots of members, and some of us here know & count the people you refer to as friends, so you could end up being the one knee-capped !!

Oh do get a grip old chap. I’ve added a smiley to that post for you to better indicate its tongue-in-cheek nature. You are awfully quick to criticise people David.

As for keyboard jockeys – there are many. I’m not one of those and I have the scraped knuckles, bad back, angry wife, and seriously depleted bank account to prove it.

Please do lighten up and don’t attack me just because someone at Long Marston is a friend of yours. Take the humour as it was intended and appreciate that my opinion that it is sad that those aircraft have been allowed to deteriorate is one that is shared by many.
