    Exactly my thoughts. It’s a fib of storkhotelian proportions.

    I think this book will answer some of your questions, have you tried contacting the fleet air arm museum?.

    Cheers

    It was a good programme, is the spitfire still at Cosford or has someone’s mum knocked it onto the floor and broke it?

    I’ve seen photo’s of it, and it didn’t look well, bits had fallen off it, in true Airfix style. It has gone back to gate guards, in Cornwall.

    I wish James May would present more, aviation themed documentarys, he knows his stuff.

    I totally agree with You Pete, I hate the competitive side of getting a job, sadly, it’s the reality of the immensley competitive world.I just wish employer would employ You on the grounds of, Your potential and how passionate you are.

    Right, better get into the cruel ‘real’ world. This unpleasent modern hell.

    Cheers, from a cynical human being.

    Don’t forget that with a degree course by picking the correct university comes the opportunity to position yourself close to a museum at which you can volunteer (And an enormous amount of ‘free’ time to spend there)

    Also there are University Air Squadrons for you to join.

    Lots of good advice above. I’m also impressed how quickly you were able to smarten up your act with quality of writing. You can do it!

    (Just watch out for apostrophes. They can bite you on the bum every time)

    Spot the mistake here?

    Yes, the apostrophe in degree.

    I hope.

    Thanks guys, I’ve taken your advice, and good advice it is. I’ve also taken your advice on my writing, and I hope to improve it. I do try hard to get things right, I even try to get things right on Facebook, funny enough, which is weird as the language of Facebook, is ‘moronic’. Innit?, You have to have the mind of a mobile phone to understand it, tis jus rly anoyin.

    Cheers

    P.S, I bet I’ve made loads of mistakes still.

    Out of interest (background research for a young volunteer project) what sort of work / jobs would you like to get involved with? 🙂

    I hate to be useless, but i’m not sure what i’m going to do after my A levels, i hoping something to do with historic aviation.

    Cheers for the fantastic response.

    The Germans may have beaten us this summer, fortuantly they didn’t beat us during the summer of 1940 ;).

    “We were’nt ready, we were on our own, we were playing for time. And it was running out.”

    Quite frankly, i couldn’t care less about football.
