    Heh, I'm Gareth. The Vampire is ex-swiss I believe. It's just going to be flat silver (like they nearly all were) with blank roundels - but the project is probably 5-10years away so he might change his mind by then!

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Have they left off SMO?

    The Sea Fury at Ardmore has a spectacularly low number of hours it has flown, from new.
    They were built 1947 to 1954

    I saw it when I went to see a Venom that a friend had painted.
    The guy that flew it that day was having a great time.
    I remember a high speed fly-by, upside down, with not a lot of air between the tails and the runway.
    A lot of wonderful acrobatics.
    Atheism and Religion are but two sides of the same coin.
    One prefers to use its head, while the other relies on tales.
