Would love to meet one day mate!
We went cross country skiing, only problem was there wasn't enough snow so it was a long cold walk around a mountain top!
I guess you have to try everything at least once though, right?

The aircraft is a Curtiss JN-4 'Jenny' from about 1918ish(?), kinda sad that I can tell you that but dont know anything about the cars.

....... it's a couple of days since I have visited.
I was expecting about 5 pages minimum to go through.
Imagine my surprise when I find someone has stolen six pages since I last looked!
Something spooky going on here.
Be afraid, be very afraid!

 

Looks like DDD was right! Someone is stealing pages.
See the talk about it on 4480.
My current bookmark is for page 4491, but that leads right here to 4484.
Aliens are at work.
