The naming of a pub.. also an important milestone.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/6763297.stm



Pity the report says that Charlie Brown did a flypast in a Hawker Nimrod and the picture shows a Chipmouse but hey.. this IS the BBC ;-)

They might just have got away with it if they hadn't said that the Nimrod was a biplane - which the Chippy patently isn't!

" A biplane? You mean like a Tiger Moth? Isn't a Nimrod that thing the RAF use in Afghanistan, and didn't one blow up a couple of years ago? I didn't realise they were that old!" :roll:

Hawker Nimrod was the naval equivilent of the Hawker Fury biplane. Very tasty little number it was too.

There used to be another pub called The Aviator beside the aerodrome at Croydon. Had a DH Dove outside, I think.
