Overheard in the paint shop:
"NO, you idiot - I TOLD you to paint the shark mouth on the P-40!"
"Duh, I did... didn't I? What's the difference?"

Poo! ' Knew I should have skipped the BBQ last Saturday arvo and taken the drive to Scone!

I tell you what though, the Wing Commander is looking darn fine for his 88 years! I recall giving him the "royal tour" of an F-18 five or so years ago, and he was as sharp as a knife, with energy to burn. One of the most dynamic people I have ever had the pleasure to meet.

Col and his team have done a brilliant job on the restoration of the P-40!
