No-one, I create the mess without assistance.

Isn't it strange what bits your memory decides to keep ?
I can still remember bits from the first ever air show that I went to in 1958. The first bit I remember was that it was a grey morning as we walked towards the airfield . I can remember seeing a wind sock for the first time and asking what it was . We had cycled out and I had been on the crossbar of my dad's bike . I was only just over 4. There are only little snippets of the rest of the day . Not much flying . A Westland Dragonfly Air Sea Rescue helicopter in bright yellow went up and down the crowd line . I can remember sitting low down in the cockpit of a Spitfire with other children peering in from above . We stood next to a very large grey aluminium Beverley. They were huge ! The bit when we were stood in amongst the crowds and hearing my brother repeat what he had heard on the tannoy that the Vulcan wouldn't be turning up because it had blown up at another air show . That was Sywell.
I think that is about as much as I can remember, other bits I have might come from another airshow from 6 years later .

The archetypal been-round-the-block-far-too-many-times un-neutered male, then...

It's sad in a way, because it's a hard life, always fighting, always roaming, looking for girls. Poor fella could be a nice lazy neuter curled up by the fire, living the life of riley...
I dunno the un neutered male that decided that we were OK to live with is still a handsome lad but then he normally wins fights (I've seen him in action) Lord Fluffington is not a big cat under all that fur but he's a lean fit thing and if we hadn't started calling him 'Fluff' i'd have named him D'Artagnon cos if there's a swash to be buckled he's your cat, you ought to see the way he comes swaggering down the garden.
He does have an historic injury though, he's got a broken rib that sticks out a bit on his right hand side (only noticable when you pick him up) but that's from before we got him used to us as he had been coming in and 'raiding the biccies' for a couple of years prior to me making friends with him.
