    As post-apocalyptic novels go “on the Beach” cannot be beaten, followed by “Day of the Triffids” and “Riddley Walker”.

    That just never gets old does it.:rolleyes:

    Glad to see this recovered. Seems strange that the locals seemed to know it was there all this time. I suppose they didn´t know the pilot was still in it.

    For those not privy to the “joke” please explain your post.:)

    I believe that McQueen was forever arguing with producers of his films about the amount of stunt work he wanted to do ( all of it) and the amount the insurers would countenance.

    I too would rather imagine him ageing as Eastwood has…………:)

    I have noted references in several threads to the differences in certification procedures in Europe, the UK and the USA. The implication seems to be that “life is easier” over the pond. Is this the case or are the regulations just as rigorous? If not, why not?

    I too enjoyed many enjoyable hours in all three, but I was not sure if they were “commercially successful”.

    To put in perspective the commercial viability of converted types, were the Britannia, Viscount and Vanguard actually perceived as being commercially successful at the time?

    Interesting. For the uninitiated, once a tool has been made for a Spit component, let’s say, can that tool then be used in subsequent restorations? I presume that, although there were many variations, there was still a large amount of commonality in the basic aircraft.

    I buy a new poppy every year and wear it for about a week prior to the 11th. What other people do and why is of absolutely no interest to me whatsoever and the inference people draw from the wearing or non-wearing or the period of wearing is also of no interest to me, nor should it concern anyone else.

    We are all free to do what we want and when we want.
