So VERY true!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

You might be suprised at the legal requirements when it comes to burials. Cremations and what you can legaly do with the ashes can be bad enough  :banghead:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

My father in law's ashes were left in the parking garage of his favorite casino in Las Vegas. Apparently this happens there frequently. Stupid idea if you ask me.

Because the cemetery is owned or licensed by a local authority who will want to be sure the coffin is of a standard size and shape to fit in the grave.
As these fuel tanks are 15ft long it exceeds the standard grave by quite a lot. Quite likely that the deceased hadn't paid for two plots...

Also need to consider how it will break up and degrade over the next 120 years after which the grave may get reused.

Sorry I was busy looking at pubs!
I saw one that looked like a 747 and another that looked like one of those mock ups for training firemen. But it wasn't rusty from fire so who knows.

It's one of the places where the gentlemen in the sand berets train, one should not expect to see (too much) fire damage.  ;)

I suspect that the fuselages are for training to storm an aircraft that's been hijacked. Not too much of that lately thank heavens.
