    He was on TV this week with James (TOP GEAR ) May, looking back at his Airfix kit box-lid illustrations.

    He bemoaned the PC brigade, who had sanitised his action-packed illustrations, and airbrushed out those frightful bombs and missiles, ruining any dramatic effect. Idiots.

    If the Ickarus had blown over the Shackleton, then THAT should be posted in Historic!

    I wonder if the Shackleton MR3 propwash is more hazardous then the tailwheel varients, not that it is likely to be an issue in the UK either way.

    What about ‘Most Meritorious Fight of a Vintage Aeroplane’ ?

    Trans-Atlantic Vimy of course!

    How about ‘Most unsuitable landing ground’?

    I hope you are not ribbing him about the local pronounciation of ‘Bicester’ and its exotic spelling herein.

    If I am wrong, I do not know where to fly to on Feb 13th!

    In the UK, to be allowed THAT close, you would have to wear 25 luminous yellow jackets. Can’t get enough of that Health & Safety.

    At Little Chalfont (10 miles) clumps of foam was dropping from the sky, and other bits were sailing through the air, like toy balloons full of helium.

    16.00 they announce that they are closing all the schools in the area on Tuesday, which is a nice day off for the teachers, but a royal pain in the butt for working parents. Obviously, the air we breathe in our homes is so much purer than the air at school.

    Typical over-reaction, no bloody back-bone, where is the blitz-spirit? Bring back Churchill, etc.

    The whole clunking charade is just to wind up J Vaughan, the hoaxer hoaxed

    It’s a theory, anyway.
