Folks,

DK:

LOL. Honestly mate there is no fear of that whatsoever. How could you be blamed for something you cannot possibly do?

At any rate, that is not my crate. I haven't flown a Hurri in 6 months. No indeed, and besides that, Dux will back me up here, it looks more like PO Ken E. Landett's kite. Ken was a notoriously nearsighted pilot. Poor, half blind Kenny, he seems to be trying to either land on or perhaps mate with your plane.

Impossible you may think. Not at all. It is said that in training Kenny set his kite down on the narrow top of a smokestack. So impressed were the instructors they did not have the heart to can him. He was eventually invalided out of the RAF due to the irremediable damage done to his lungs by the hot, volatile emissions he had involuntarily inhaled.

Blessed with very poor vision, old Kenny (ever the Jack the lad) cheerfully cut a broad swath through the ranks of the, shall we say, less good looking ladies of Studley Grange. His amorous attentions were greatly appreciated by them, I can tell you.
