Janie,

Think I may need a copy of the paperwork as well, think it will be unlikely I’ll be able to make it either.

Wow what fantastic pictures, thanks for the links as well, should keep me busy over the weekend.

On another point there is still a B25 at Duxford although not in airworthy condition and at least some were able to see Grumpy out and about last year, so OK it’s not at Duxford but it’s still in the UK apparently (for the time being).

Looks like I’ve got some creeping to do at home now, holiday to the US coming on in 2006 I feel….

It’s a great shame really, there are far too few people interested in aviation as it is without alienating someone who is interested. I waited far too long to learn to fly, my intentions were to do it 10 or so years ago but I fell in to an unwelcoming club and missed out and decided to enter the classic car world. I still kept in touch with aviation and persued my interest in Warbirds, however it wasn’t until last year that I decided to go for it and actually learn to fly….

In what?

Yes indeed everyone is entitled, but there is no need to get angry about it. It’s just a fact of life. Have you spoken to the owner?

I’m sure with enough time and money it could be, depends whether it’s really worth spending a small fortune on.
