Re: Duxford Mystery Plane Exhibit

If anyone is thinking of going before the end of the Hurricane display try to avoid around the 14th Feb.

https://imgur.com/Grc7naf https://i.imgur.com/Grc7naf.jpeg Imgur does not seem to be working the way it used to? Anyway the above link should show the crop of the text.

As advised, the best approach is no drink if driving. When I used to fly the advice was 8 hours bottle to take-off. (Some say throttle but that wa...

Merry Christmas to all and the remains of Happy Chanukah too.
