Parking prohibited, the police officer is issuing a fine.

That what i typed. Getting a ticket is a punishment. Although the idea of a Valet parking is even better.

You can tell they are all commissioned officers because not one of them has worked out that someone needs to be in it to
make it go. They are probably still there.

It's clearly a Safety Meeting.... 'No-one works, no-one gets hurt'........

The Spitfire was difficult to fly. When can tell to look at the number of pilots it took. 1945

"Southwest Airlines CEO Herb Kelleher's first foray into the European aviation market failed to materialise for one inexplicable but crucial reason..."

But still better then Raynair

But still better then Raynair

Ah yes, the Ryanair paradox. A situation that baffles consumer research think tanks to this day. Ryanair frequently features as the most hated brand in surveys conducted in Britain, yet, inexplicably, Ryanair is one of the world's most successful airlines in terms of profits. In FY 2002-2002 against the grain, Ryanair made a profit following 9/11. It demonstrated losses during covid, as all airlines did, but because it hadn't recorded losses in around 20 years, through the SARS pandemic the Iceland volcanic eruption and so on, that was pretty remarkable. Everyone hates Ryanair but it is, as its advertising blurb states, "Europe's favourite airline"...

Thanks for catching that!

Is there only one Ed Elliot?

If not that may be the answer.

Only 1 who was a test pilot for Curtiss Wright, but not for another year or two after 1938. Then in 1943 he left to join the newcomer McDonnell Aircraft Corporation as their chief test pilot, where he did most of the flying on the XP-67.

You're welcome.
It was your post that tipped me to it, so I looked it up and ran across that article.
Sitting on my hands for 3 days about sent me to the nut house, but of course, when the time came, I dam near forgot about it.
Glad you enjoyed it. =)
It got me thinking about something that's been discussed here before, and that is, how would the P-40 have faired, bolstering the squadrons of Spitfires and Hurricanes, during The BoB?
