RAF Unveils VC “Battle Of Britain” Typhoon

I read this nonsense

New £20 banknote to honour the arts with public asked to nominate favourite visual artists

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-10262008.html

They should have 4 notes one each for our greatest aircraft designers Mitchell, Camm, Barnes-Wallace and Chadwick. What have these visual arts ponces done for the nation to deserve going on a banknote

I was lucky enough to spend a whole week at the Farnborough Airshow back in 1970...complete with first flypast of the new Concorde.

I love planes too.

I've probably posted this before, but this is the 75 seater 'Hermes' plane that we flew in from Heathrow (Tent ) to Singapore, back in 1955, when I was aged 4yrs.

3 day trip, with 7 stops for refuelling.

I remember it well...including the steam train journey to London.
