Just so we're all clear, this isn't my work [;)] The Lanc has got some new make-up.

[Chickenboy]

For the various bombs displayed, I assume that's number of missions flown?

Against whom else would sorties have flown, if not the Germans? I only see one swastika on one bomb. Perhaps that's an aerial (fighter) kill by Lancaster gunners?

Also, what does the "D" mean in one of the bombs?

D for D-Day. The swastika is a confirmed kill.

Good morning!

Hi Leo, no all electric cars for us, at least not for my wife's commute. She's out on the open highway for most of her miles, so all electric is not convenient, or likely even possible. But also, the cost of these cars is still waaaaaay to high. With the number of miles she drives, we will burn up the value of the car in 3 years or less. Bought a 2010 Focus for 1/4 the cost of a Volt. [:)]

RGR Mike - thanks for info!

BTW, how much is MPG for your Porsche (i.e. is it new or old model)?

Hi Leo, our Boxster S is a 2008 and gets around 25 MPG on the highway, when we drive it reasonably. [;)]
Our Cayenne is a 2009 and gets around 22 MPG on the highway. Both require "premium" or higher octane rating fuel, which is around $4.10/gallon currently in our area, while the Focus is getting around 38 MPG and uses "standard" fuel, which is currently running about $3.75/gallon here.

Honestly, the Porsches are not too bad with their gas mileage for what they are. We're more concerned with burning up the value of the cars with all the miles. The gas savings effectively paying for the Focus and added insurance just made it an easier decision to "use up" a much less expensive car. [:)]

Thanks for info Mike!

Sure, simply send me some cash and it'll be on the way [:)] I need money right now, until my Nigerian inheritance comes in I seem to be running short of cash [&:]

Or you could be a good looking girl and you'd get a free poster [:D]

Just wait until your CO finds out... [8D]

I'm pretty sure that my boss already knows [:D] I spent a good 20 minutes on Saturday just posing for photos with people*. Seeing as I've already picked up a reputation for being quiet I suspect that rumour control has hit full speed in my absence.

I'm more than willing to give free tours of the hangar to anyone who turns up, but you'd have to drag yourself to Lincolnshire first.

Good! [:)]

BTW, what uniform you guys wear at such occasions?

Work? Dress?
