also believe it to be one of the few aircraft to have brought down 2 enemy aircraft simultaneously without firing a shot. (Commander C Lamb Vs 2 FIAT,s ) by encouraging them to crash inverted into the sea after trying to maintain contact with his incredibly maneuverable Swordfish as he did a vertical stall turn to port at very low altitude

Well hurry up. The hockey season is starting and we don't want to hear the crying by the Maple Greif fans.

Dont talk about bleeding fog KK I took a elderly couple to Duxford on Sunday (the lady suffers from MS and he doesnt drive) to the BOB display and it got socked in at 400 yards vis so nothing flew except a Chipmunk for a scout round and a Chinook which i must say put on a good display considering the awful conditions.
I found a very rare P47 while there though see what you think

Awesome pic, but it was KK who said that, not me. We don't all look alike y'know.

There's something odd about that picture but I can't quite put my finger on it.

And in defence of Lee, you all do look alike. South Park told me so.

The Fogtown reference is because during a Grey Cup the fog rolled in and caused all kinds of havoc with the game.

December 1-2, 1962 at Toronto
Game halted by fog. Final 9:29 played on December 2.

It is also the provincial capital and all politicians are in a perpetual fog.

It is not a soccer game. It is the game where the quarterback throws the ball and someone is suppose to catch, if they can see it.

Dude, it's not real! You can even see where it's altered next to the "inner" strut.

Well blow me down D I would never have known without your aviation expertise, or the fact that I cocked up the picture when using the panoramic mode on me camera
