Remember when you point a finger there are 3 others pointing back at you.

Brill – that should go down in a book of quotes!

I’ve had (two) body scanners since birth: they’re particularly useful on the beach…

I was in the RAAF when CAC Sabres were part of the inventory, but they all had North American seats. Pigs of things that killed more of our pilots than they saved.

Some modifications to improve them made them even more dangerous.

Armourers told me MB seats were too big to fit a Sabre.

So were CAC Sabres re-engineered with Martin Bakers?

There was a superb picture of the Lanc over the dam in the Daily Mail on Saturday.

If you can get down to the brilliant De Havilland museum at London Colney, Herts, they have a real Wellie – albeit an unskinned one retrieved from the water.

I have a few photos, but don’t have the account to put them in this forum. Maybe their website has pictures also.

[QUOTE=Pete Truman;1241771]Are you familiar with the character of the real Katherine Hepburn, I doubt it otherwise you would realise why Cate Blanchett won an Oscar for the role and deservedly so. QUOTE]

Do I know the character of Katherine Hepburn?? Hell, she is/was my favourite film actress of all time – for the past fifty years or more!

Sorry to insult your favourite, but she didn’t resemble or sound like Kate at all.

I just knew my post was going to ruffle some feathers!

Incidentally, as ancient as I am, one of my boyhood heroes was Howard Hughes. His many achievements in aviation, and his flamboyant character, appealed to me as a young lad in the London blitz.

It was good to see that the people who worked for him for many years supported him when his illness took over. I understand that his illness ended when he (fittingly) died on a plane trip.

The part of the film I enjoyed most was when he ‘shot down’ the Senator!
