The Madness Of Griffons

In service before the war, throughout and (briefly) afterwards.
Not many military aircraft can claim that from either WWI or WWII.

Let's not forget Geoffrey De Havilland's finest ever aeroplane design.

(Sorry for the delay, been a bit busy)

Plus a tea trolley.

Good observation there. Expanding the photo, it certainly has a French look about it

See how much fairer and more open I am than that scandalously bent judge @vivamjm.bsky.social . He would just automatically disqualify such an inspired response.

That's impressively off piste, this is now causing me a headache. Emmanuel has posted the finest of hot French birds yet I think this might just pip it on the grounds of being rebellious.

I like the RAF paint job. Could do with some more wings though there's still some nice strut work there.
Sounds like a lawnmower but then again, it trundled along at about the same altitude as one 🤔

Quick Quiz: ID all accurately to Number the Odd One Out. Judge's decision final 😎

And a good weekend for the local brewery no doubt 🤔

Scene from Hungary tonight as crowds rally against the Russian-backed Orban regime.

Threading isn't great on this platform. You can fiddle around in settings a bit, that might help.

Top Geek to you and Emanuel, however, I can't see anyone beating this Latecoere 8. The crowning glory of French flying architecture, a cathedral complete its organ pipes.

Nice choice

When young and rebellious, I'd play on my Scottish ancestry. Older and with a functioning brain, like it or not, I realised that I am just English, it's the culture I grew up in. However, there's only one England song that I love despite not being particularly religious.

National Anthem: Scotland - Flower of Scotland (Constituent Country of the United Kingdom) YouTube video by Ian Berwick

My father also brought his own national influences into my youth.

Nice bit of detective thinking... But now you need names.

I saw the ABBA movie at the cinema, possibly the first film I saw by myself.

Anyone who doesn't like ABBA is an alien lizard person.

My wife is clearly a lizard... SEND HELP!

My Dad enjoyed the old wartime classics but he also liked country and western. I still enjoy an occasional listen to some country music.

Either you're a lot older than I thought or you had a thing for your parents record collection.

I think I preferred the rebel one TBH, at least it had some spirit.

No wonder you're such a trouble maker. 🙄

I don't want to declare a winner yet but you have set a high bar.

👍

Hot French porn isn't quite enough, where are the I.D.s?

Absolutely angelic.

Middle of the Road - Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep - Totp 1971 YouTube video by charliemouse1234

Which is the earliest song you remember hearing. This is mine, I remember the kids singing it in infant school. It always makes me smile to hear it now.
Goes into grumpy old man mode:
Better than the rubbish they make these days
