This is actually very interesting.

Looking at personal computers' history, it would follow that the 35-44 age group should be the largest in 'this field' - but on the other hand, the larger representation of slightly older members perhaps is indicative of the subject matter here - Classic British, so naturally, those slightly older have more memories of the aircraft...

Still, it is interesting, and (to me) slightly surprising that so many more 'experienced' members are aboard :thumbsup:

What is interesting Jim is that most of us in the 45-54 category are near the upper end and within five years will be in the next one :worried:

Some of that plus, senility/second childhood, and more time on our hands :guinn:

Poll finished..

Thanks to the 84 who voted.

Certainly interesting results.

Well over half of the community are over 45yrs. And 10% are pensioners! :OB:

As someone said, it is these people that have the most tangible memories of such classic aircraft.

Can only be a good thing. Especially for those who provide those memories into FS aircraft & paints for the rest of us.

Cheers!!

Good one, Dennis! :welldone:
I could not help but notice that none of the youthful enthusiastic crowd picked that up.
:cheers:

Well, it helps to pass the time. I used to do something else, but I've forgotten what it was.
