Does anybody who uses this forum ever do any work?

It takes half the day just to catch up!!

Cornflakes were rhetorical. See Droptank (mondays P51 thread) for details.

Surely the most appropriate thing to make out of plastic and put on a stick at Duxfords gate would be a Battle of Britain Spitfire.

It is a British airfield after all. Sometimes people get so wrapped up in the 78thFG thing that they forget that Duxford is in England and was a fighter station during the Battle (that’s 3 years before the US turned up).

Can someone elighten me as to which Lysander this is, who now owns it, and why they didn’t just buy the example that was sold by ARCo a couple of years ago?

P.S. your bickering is most entertaining, I nearly spilt my cornflakes!!

Bentwingbomber,

I notice that the TFC website doesn’t mention the Ki43, P38, or the Mosquito.
Sites like that take a lot of maintaining (I would imagine) and are not always bang up to date with all the latest news.
If you have any info on anything that’s being asked, come forward and tell, we’d like to know, that’s why we ask!

And I still say that the Dragonfly is the most beautiful aeroplane of all time (esp. that one).

Jumping the gun a bit then aren’t they?

Thanks Moggy

Droptank, you have to realise that many of the people using this forum are actively involved in Historic aviation (that’s why it works so well) and that the person you have desribed could either be using this site themselves, or could be known to someone that is (and no, before you ask, I wasn’t at Duxford yesterday).

Willow

P.S. It was Weetabix actually, I keep getting them stuck in the toaster!

You’d moan a lot louder if he just told you to ‘f-off and mind your own business’!!

Volunteers do this sort of work because they’re interested themselves. Most visitors are interested as well.

Is it a genuine Duxford based scheme, or didn’t you listen that long?
