Oh, yeah, I've still got my tonsils and that reminds me of probably the only one I can really claim as my own.

Never watched a complete Star Wars film.

Never flown on Concorde

I'm gutted about never flying on a concorde! That's something my generation would never have done and never had the chance to do. It's a real shame. Would have loved it. Nearest thing to it these days is this new Virgin Galactic space ship thing.

Beauty, form, grace, elegance...

Get out the closet. Its the future is beans on toast!

It is just the thought of damp toast though! :blush:

That's nostalgic to say the least. Checkout the size of the beast next to the set of red arrows at about 3:11

Ahhh. You're inevitably right.

I have seen G - BOAA at East Linton (near Edinburgh), and on seeing it close up at first, what struck me the most was just how high the front landing gear was. It sounds strange as it is obvious, but I guess I just hadn't thought about it as you generally do not see them from that angle close up.

Also, if you ever get the chance, the best place to view one is standing under the edge of the wing and looking forwards towards the nose. The form of it all just 'flows'.

Ahhh. You're inevitably right.

I suppose there has to be a first for everything!

I've never broken a major bone (although I have broken my nose more times than I can remember!). Also never been knocked unconscious by a blow to the head (despite cycling head first into the back of a dumper truck). Never fainted either.

You Sir must see a doctor immediately. If the site of a Spitfire in full flight does not make your insides do funny things then you are not well.
Without that plane, (and the Hurricane and Lancaster) do not forget, you would now be conversing in German!

Wo ist Ihr Patriotismus?


[EDIT] just had a thought, if you meant a Triumph Spitfire, +1 :whistle:
