Yet ANOTHER Spitfire tooling about over Hayling Island.

At least it's not an He 111 I suppose.
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! :)

Nothing seen around here but I keep hearing what sound like vintage engines flying over. Probably on their way north for the big Oshkosh airshow.

Back to my 'country home' now and under the Sywell-Duxford flight path so lots of opportunities for warbird spotting, Sure enough I heard a LOUD piston engine roaring overhead and it was THE Tempest, the only Tempest II flying anywhere. Boy, was it EVER load!  :o

Don't get coyotes in S London, but I see foxes virtualy every day, and this time of year with their cubs in tow.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

A Pied Currawong was in one of the big gums at the bottom of the yard.  Eating gum nuts and dropping the remains on the tin roof of next doors shed.
Don't often see them round here.  They are related to Australian Magpies.  About 19" long.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

zenrat industries:  We're everywhere, for your convenience.

A crop duster was buzzing around yesterday. One of those yellow turboprops. If my granddaughter had been around she would have been very exited. She's likes to watch planes fly over.
