Easily ammused
You reckon they'll be able to get it ready to crash by then?
Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

Get a new pilot.

That suggestion is right on the money!
There will be a big "please explain" from the insurance company, I'll bet!

That double-seat canopy is incredibly fugly.
The greatest pleasure of my recent life has been speed on the road. . . . I lose detail at even moderate speed but gain comprehension. . . . I could write for hours on the lustfulness of moving swiftly.

Bounce. Bounce. CRACK! I wonder if there should perhaps be more stringent requirements on operating overpowered, HISTORICALLY VALUABLE taildraggers. Just being able to afford one obviously isn't enough.
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

Aah shit!
Not again!
He's not having much luck with that plane, is he.There are quite stringent requirements, and no one realises this more than the operators. Just think of a Spit, as the GSXR1000 of the skies.....I wonder if there should perhaps be more stringent requirements on operating overpowered, HISTORICALLY VALUABLE taildraggers.

It does pay to land them at runway height.

You mean generally operated only by image conscious squids with little cash and even less taste?
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My signature is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless.
The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

And they tried to land these on aircraft carriers during WW2...
Hats off to those dudes !!!
Oh hang on,...didn't always go to plan either...

More damaged Spit pics from Ardmore...
Doesn't looks so bad from these pics but they can be deceiving. Plus parts wouldn't be cheap...
