What intelligent life?

Cats are pretty smart.  They figured out how to get us to worship them as Gods.

Flight shaming.  Give me a friggin' break.  Bang Head

 

Unfortunately,  most on here are anthropomorphic global climate change deniers.  Sadly,  that even takes precedence over trains. 

On a lighter note,  I found two fine videos for castor oil fans.   I'll try to find them and post.

I have no problem with flying at all. Especially if the airplane is powered by a Packard-built Merlin engineSmile, Wink & Grin

 

 

I've always preferred the Le Rhone rotaries myself.  Nothing like the taste of Castor Oil in the morning!

Although I could be persuaded to ride in one of the de Havilland bush planes, they are a bit warmer in winter!

 

LaughFrom I have heard about it, I am glad that do not remember ever having been given castor oil at any time of the day.

I'll stick to the Hisso 220, thanks -- nothing like the effect of Castor Oil in the afternoon, and I don't care for the planning ahead at right angles any more either.

Going to the IWM in Duxford?

Going for a ride in a two-place Spitfire?

I hate youuuuuuuu....

Oh how I hate youuuuuuuu...

Just kidding 54'!  I hope you enjoy the ride to the max!  It'll be almost like having lunch with Winston Churchill, or Douglas Bader for that matter!

Of course, we'll all expect a full report when you get back, but in the meantime, as  Adolf Galland once said...

"Geben sie mir ein Spitfeuer staffel!"

Especially if the airplane is powered by a Packard-built Merlin engineSmile, Wink & Grin and I plan to do that very thing next year when I go to the Imperial War Museum at Duxford and fly in a two-seat Spitfire! Jeez, was that air-bragging? I do plan to take the train from London to Duxford and ride a bicycle from the station to the museum. Train and bike bragging? I'd better stop now.
