Your mentioning the weather over there reminded me of a bloke I knew through a car club forum. When he retired, him and his wife moved from the UK to a town somewhere on the coast of Queensland. One Christmas time (Several years ago now) we were all on the forum moaning about how bad the current snow was here in Blighty. People were posting pictures showing how badly they were snowed in, some were posting photos of their cars, half dug out of 2 or 3 foot thick snowdrifts that had covered them over night, and a couple of club members were posting via their smartphones because the snow had taken down power lines in their areas.......... Then matey boy posts a picture of afternoon sunshine glimmering off the crystal blue ocean and sandy beach that's pretty much walking distance from his home, and just says "Looks bad back there......... Anyway, I'm off for a swim to cool off. It's a bit TOO toasty for me over here at the minute. :D". BA*TARD ! LOL !

Happy to see so many F7F Tigercats. A U.S. Marine buddy of mine, Korean War era, was rated as the radar operator and flew in the back seat of one. He would describe the experience as: "the pilot had an ejection seat, I was sitting on 500 gallons of a gas". In an emergency, we'd have to roll inverted so I could bail out.

Hi Bruce, Ron, Bill, Gordon and two others I can't remember. Great looking day, the weather is perfect. 28° there wow it was 28° deg here to. Except Is Fahrenheit.

“ clubs “ tend to be serious places where people practice oneupmanship on each other , no matter which sport is being played. It’s good to see a little fun and light hearted ness for a change.

[@bugsy742]

Agreed 😃😎👍

[@xjet]

We don't have a "club" as such. We're just a group of like-minded people who share a common interest. There are no politics, no power-plays or anything else like that. Because there's no committee, no president or anything like that, everyone is equal and each of us looks out for the safety and interests of the others. It's the way all flying groups should operate (IMHO).
