Country:  | Jeez, I didn't even read the bit about your boy, Lee. 
I hope it was a fun paintball game if he got a broken leg out of it. | |

Country: | I reckon someone took it a little too serious and ran out of ammo, then proceeded to beat Lee's child with a stick. ...I wasn't there, honest ...

Country:  | You would prefer to beat me with a stick D I still won't learn anything, they tried doing it when I was at school.
Anyway a few more snaps from the Autumn Show last Sunday.

Country: | Agreed Evan GNs shots are great, personally I think SM845 is one of the best presented Spitfires around the attention to detail makes her a gorgeous plane to look at.
Having not seen them before I did'nt realise those T28's where so noisy they sound like dump trucks but I still think there a great plane.

Country: | Yep, Lee, the T-28s are noisy airplanes, but what a sound! That is the same engine as a B-17, by the way. We have a dozen of them at Camarillo and it is quite often you see a pair of them going out for a flight. On some occasions, you will see a flight of four. They always do a nice formation fly-past when coming in to land.

Country: | I have a couple of clips of the T 28's that I'll post once cleaned up a bit.
----F**K-----B*lls----B****ks---------well that was easy -----NOT
The first version is normal size and a big file , the second is in real player with no sound to keep the file small
