    Shall we just remind ourselves (with DCW’s permission) of the beauty P9374 really is….

    Remember that Welsh soldier in “Zulu” staring and saying “now there’s pretty” when they were talking about the girl zulu soldiers…. seems to some that shot up “now there’s pretty”…… indeed.

    She : what time you home tonight ?
    Me : after 6
    She: I have stuff for kids to give teachers tomorrow so will come over.
    Me: Just leave them on the step I can take them in.
    She: am sure you can but I am coming over at 6.
    Me: Try asking if you can come to my home, “do you mind if” would be a start.

    No reply.

    Me: No problem you coming to see kids here, I just expect to be asked if its OK not demanded.

    No Reply.

    get home, bag on step. WTF….:eek:

    She: Don’t let cakes get squashed.

    me: am sure I could work that out all on my own.

    No reply.

    Just in general, not aimed at anyone.

    I know it’s a public forum but even when such a fantastic piece of engineering as this true Mk I spitfire emerges, people still find it necessary
    to complain about it.

    Who cares, it’s a Spitfire, it’s structures, systems etc. have been meticulously restored/reconstructed whatever. Just enjoy it, what more do we want??

    Just my two cents.
    Cees

    I’ll second every word of that Cees!

    Its a lovely piece of work, a terrific original scheme (as in black/white undersides which you don’t see very often, BBMF Hurricane a few years ago IIRC ?) – a classic design, alive and very soon in the skies…… perfect.

    You learn something every day Baz, I always assumed or understood that only Hurricanes based in France removed squadron codes and kept a single letter. Nice artwork, 😎

    (Incidentally, saw a trailer for both The Dark Knight Rises and The Three Musketeers – they both looked utter balls, so avoid!)

    For Three Musketeers you need look no further than Michael YOk, Oliver Reed et al ! Brilliant fun…

    as for Batman, they only started filming location shots in India in May, and the rest of the filming will take place through to November, so I’m willing to go on a little faith with Christopher Nolan and what he will come up with. Give it time Daz, Tom Hardy as Baine….. last movie of the three, one of the best (IMHO) film makers around at the current time….it will rock…..

    Just heard on the radio, that “They” whoever they are in Parliament want to delay their Summer recess to get it moving quicker. Now thats a good idea in my book.

    Jim.

    Lincoln .7

    It is Jim, they need extra time to find a few MP’s who are morally whiter than white…..;)

    I am a sceptic and can’t help but think that peoples attention will wonder from this, like it did the MP expenses scandal, on Sunday the Red Tops will run a headline story about Katie Price and a nipple piercing or something equally important and this story will start to fade…..
