Ian:
Full marks! In 2011, we had two hurricanes, the spit and the p-51 as escort.
Will be interesting to see the formation makeup this weekend.

Nice one. I think the P-40 is 2nd from the left in the photo, is that right?
The corsair's wings are a dead giveaway, even more so than the engine, and the
dihedral and thin wings of the plane next to it says "Spitfire", the very
shallow dihedral on the plane at the left side of the shot says "hurricane" to
me.

Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience prove
you wrong. Remember: when the emperor looks naked, the emperor *is* naked, the
truth and a lie are not "sort-of the same thing" and there is no aspect, no
facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza.
