Wow beautiful! Is that the Canadian Warplane Museums example?

Personally i don’t mind them at all, i just ignore them, it’s no big deal. A few posts at the top of the page that i won’t read is a tiny price to pay for such a good forum.

Reminds me of those plasticy foamy sort planes you can buy for about 30p, i’ve got a few in my cupboard somewhere including a rather nice P40… hmmm might have a bit of fun in the garden tomorrow

Damn why can’t they do the Village Peoples ‘in the navy’!

Looking good! Make sure you get plenty of pics for us lot :p

Very nice, is she fully repaintednow? I understand what you mean about seeing aircraft outside, i have no complaints as long as they are kept under good conditions, although i don’t like seeing WW2 era aircraft kept outside, way too fragile.

I’ve had quite a few gaffes told me, but the best was a while ago at Hendon. (Not exactly an airshow but bear with me.) Looking at the Napier Sabre engine thats next to the Typhoon, a youngish bloke/yobbo was coming to a completely incorrect conclusion about some part of it whilst ‘explaining’ it to his mate. My grand-dad (an Engine Technician in the 2nd TAF) reaches in to explain that he’s in fact totally wrong. The guy wheels round enraged and actually says:
“What would you know about it, grandpa? I’m a mechanic, so i know a little bit about engines!”
My Grand-dad points to the Typhoon and says:
“You must be a f*cking awful mechanic then, as i’m one of the buggers who fitted these engines to this aircraft, and i daresay that I could still take the bl*ody thing apart with my eyes shut. In fact im pretty sure that I could draw you a f*cking diagram.” It was more the image of this 87 year old veteren shouting abuse at this burburry coloured yob that set me off, and i didnt stop for days. He was correct, of course. That was proved when the curator came over! Absolute classic.

Nice one! Haha wish i was there when that happened, i’d still be rolling around on the floor now!
