Remembering from college a discussion about "the public" vs aviation, specifically those who move in next to an airport, and then proceed to complain about aircraft noise. The instructor had been somewhere, as part of an airport planning board. When "the public" (read those who lived around and used the airport) demanded an extended runway, he pre-empted them by making them sign a waiver of sorts. Basically it said "I want this extended runway, and by extension more and bigger airplanes, and agree to not complain about said more and bigger airplanes' noise in the future." I doubt it would get the aviation types far in today's legal climate, but it was better than nothing.

Got my hands on this set today, it's been in the shop for years, I think over 20 years.... the base/background has lost nearly all of its green colours... The BBMF Scaled 1/144Th: The yellowish plastic stuff can be removed, the Lanc is already on a stand, the Spit and Hurrie can be mounted on theirs. As I do not have any room to display them, I will keep them boxed up, and bring 'm to England in July. They might make a nice fit in the dispersal hut, or, yes, maybe they are too small for that one...
