Could you do me a favor, if convenient, mate?

Post the link for the skits that you put up some years ago. These were a series of generic cartoons with computer synthesized voices elaborating on the crew: pilot relationship. I recall one in particular with a stammering pilot trying to find the word for those things sticking out of the airplane. The crewman finally figured out that the pilot was referring to the 'wings'.

Anyways, these were quite funny and I'd like to review them if you know their whereabouts. Thanks in advance.

Here's one of them. You should be able to follow links to the rest.

It was busy today. I spent an hour (seemed like 20 minutes) talking to Reg, a former WOp on Lancasters. He flew with 50 Sqn from RAF Skellingthorpe which was later absorbed into the boundries of Lincoln itself. A tour of ops which included 10 trips to the Big City and what would appear to be quite a few other events and incidents. He was over the wing spars like a racing snake, certainly quicker than his son! He came alive when he was sat in 'his' old seat with the WW2 radios and electrics in front of him. In fact he was in there so long that he missed the last bus back to the car park!

Great stuff, Martin!

Until the last of them have left us, I believe giving the WW!! vets a chance to reminisce is more important than preserving the history for younger folks.

BTW, you look very much like my younger brother in this picture!

He and I look nothing alike.

Waking up very slowly this morning.

Ugh. You've caught me in a logical trap here, USS Mike. I cannot say that Dixie is a handsome visage (since he looks nothing like you) without complementing him. Vice-versa too. What's a muckraker like me to do in such circumstances?

Sad news about Robin Williams indeed. He never was one of my personal favorites, but his comic genius could not be disputed.

What a loss.

Strange that someone who brought so much laughter and joy to so many was so unhappy.

What was the line about "living lives of quiet desperation"?

I hope that he finds the peace that he apparently didn't find in life".

I found it. Thoreau. �Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.�

Just give up, you are out of your league? Just a suggestion.

Agreed. Part of my youth, now gone.

Depression is a disease and if you have any thoughts like that, seek treatment! There is no shame in it. Just like cancer or a broken bone. Something isn't working right, get it fixed!
