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

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

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

Poll finished..
Thanks to the 84 who voted.
Certainly interesting results.
Well over half of the community are over 45yrs. And 10% are pensioners!
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!!

I'm 70 and didn't vote. Could I be the missing 1%?

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

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