    Never forget - how can I?

    Here's a link to the relevant page on the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum's website, showing the replica of BL924: http://www.tangmere-museum.org.uk/museum-aircraft/spitfire-mk-vb This museum is five miles from where I live, I've spent many hours there!

    Akubra Capricorn Review

    They do indeed! Even at 115mph with the top down! (Allegedly.)

    Akubra Capricorn Review

    The Capricorn arrived on Saturday. It looks great, but also has a quality that I hadn't counted on...the aerodynamics with the brim snapped down are perfect for open topped motoring!

    Fred Astaire movies

    My favourite is "Carefree". Ginger Rogers shows that there's more to her than dancing and sex appeal in this one - she was a first class comic actress with a superb sense of timing too.

    Sir Keith Park

    He and Dowding were treated very shabbily after the Battle of Britain. One of my heroes.

    Finally!!!!

    If you'd made him up as a film character, people would have had trouble believing it! I hope this film gets made, I really do!

    The general decline in standards today

    More detail here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-18141421 This line made me howl with laughter: "They told me my coffee was rubbish but it is a tearoom so I don't care." Good for you, Mrs. Atkinson - it's nice to see someone standing up for what they believe in!

    Spitfire In The Garden

    If I could choose anything at all to fly in, it would be a Vulcan. Wouldn't turn down a trip in a Spit or a Mossie, though! :-)

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    Sad though it may sound, if you wait five years or so, 2012 won't seem quite so bad! :)

    Subverting Technology -- Golden Era style

    This thread is fascinating! I live in a house built in 1932, but I have to live in 2012 and so have a mix of eras in terms of gadgets, knick-knacks and technology. I loathe anything to do with Apple (except the Beatles) and will only move to an LCD telly when the last CRT one blows up. I don't...

    1930s Double Breasted Red Wide Wale Smoking Jacket

    Well, I can't say I'm not tempted, but it's a little out of my price range at the moment :(

    1930s Double Breasted Red Wide Wale Smoking Jacket

    I could perhaps see myself in that - would the costs of shipping the jacket to the UK be prohibitive?
