Dear Sir or Madam,

I recently visited your site gallery and quite frankly I was appalled at what I saw. Or rather what I didn’t see. I refer of course to the section dedicated to the flying machines of Mr Alliot V. Roe where there are no pictures whatsoever.

Where is the bold and brassy Lancaster? Armed and dangerous, yet irresistibly exciting. No sign of the mature curvaceous Annie. Ignored the naked Lancastrian thrusting skyward transporting one to exotic experiences in Havana, Rio, Rangoon or Singapore.
Images to stir the blood and stiffen the sinews of any red-blooded chap I think you would agree, but denied a visitor to your gallery.

THIS IS A DISGRACE. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT.

You may be certain that this will be the first item in the weekly letter I write to my MP. His secretary assures me that my missives are always dealt with promptly on arrival.

The bounder responsible for this scandalous state of affairs deserves to be severely chastised. At my school the very least he would have received would have been a sharp poke in the nether regions of the popping crease from a cricket stump wielded by matron.

I have appended some electronic etchings from my own collection, which may serve to rectify the situation, at least until something better can be found.

Your Humble Servant,

Justin Shepton-Mallet CBE

Mr. Dragon,

Fine pictures they were too sir. I'm glad that someone here has the wit and dare I say it breeding to appreciate these fine aircraft.

Mr. Watson,

Spoken like a gent. A man who can own up to his mistakes is rare today.
