Thank you everyone for your kind comments. As I have said before, it is the people who have posted on this site who have taught me any skills I've acquired.
The historical aspect of WWI aircraft fascinates me. What those pilots did blows my mind. The sad part is the war. I can't remember where but one memoir I read wrote "we didn't talk about the past as we didn't have a past, we'd come straight from school. We couldn't talk about the future as we couldn't imagine a future where we weren't at war, so we lived in the present . . ."
Thanks again,
Ian
