Loads of ducks, probably Mallards, must have come from Norwood Lake down the road, no idea where going but they were making a lot of noise about it !
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

They are just physical manifestations of collisions between enigma & conundrum particles.

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

One of the few, if not the only aeroplane with a swept tailplane and a straight wing.

No idea why they did that apart to make it look cool......
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! :)

Well there you have it folks ! What the heck was I thinking then ? I googled Shrike ( I thought it was a Curtis ) and all I got was some ultr-cool inter-war monoplane ! And now I want one !

You were thinking of a Rockwell Shrike Commander Cap'n, an aircraft in the same class as the Aerostar but with a high wing and a straight tailplane.  Bob Hoover doing his thing in a Shrike below.

Well.... I guess even Bob Hoover has to obey the laws of Gravity occasionally  ;D

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

Oh, I think he obeys that one all the time...
... more importantly, he seems to very careful to observe the rule about not running out of airspeed, altitude, or ideas. You always have to have at least two of those.
