Quoting you replying on another thread to an earlier post, "if that's the best you can do..."

I understand there will be Nooner racing on the same day.

Is that a scramble, then?

Oh yea I remember that day. That's the day I won the battle of Brittan with my Nooner. It was top secret at the time so it didn't get a lot of press. Winning the Nooner race this weekend will be a commemorative event of the day and could possibly clinch my championship points total! That's right Mike I went there!

Ed, lets not forget, the under-dog won!!!

Michael...your abilities with photoshop are...

I had a good yuk at both of them! Now, choosing a porn star to launch a Nooner...I dunno...

That guy with the Nooner can't be British .... he's not wearing long pants.

I just checked the British planes that participated in the Battle of Britain. Surprised to find out there were only 7 planes- The Spit (mostly mark 1's, some Mark 2's), Hurricane, Lancaster, Blenheim, Beaufighter, Defiant and Gladiator biplane.
So if I use a two bladed prop on my Spit and power it down it will be a Mark 1 (4 cells, 46" span). Damn, the ailerons are not fabric covered.
Remember, if you notice a scale defect on my Spit you are standing way too close.

Frank,
I was surprised to find the Lancaster in this list...a quick google indicated the first Lancaster didn't fly until 1941. Battle of Britain is generally considered to be May-October 1940.

Okay all you photoshoppers, there's some target material for your creativity...

Really looking forward to Sunday.

I found another cool BoB image.

Jack, I think we've found your new profile picture.

Points totals... pfft you can have that. Just remember when the whole world was watching at the marquee event of the season, you lost, to me.

Looks like "Bomber Higgins".

Jack.

Michael · September 12, 2013, 07:57:21 PM

Amazing what the right sport jacket will do for one's figure!

Frank v B · September 13, 2013, 06:54:12 PM

Jack, to heck with the name "Bomber Higgins". We'll call you "Biggins" from now on.
