Clark:

Last night my wife and daughter told me I had been very grumpy and
cantankerous all week. After giving me some examples I had to agree with
them. After re-reading our exchange it also appears that I let that sour
mood spill over here. Maybe it’s the heat (been 103-108F all week) but still
no excuse



My own issues with yEnc came about when I could not decode the images even
after downloading two different decoders and they not working with OE so I
just ignored the yEnc posts as I have no download limits and am not on
dial-up. Thanks to Indrek Aavisto’s post I found Fidolook which since
Thursday night has allowed problem free decoding to all the yEnc posts here.
I will still only post in the FAQ recommended formats but at least now I
can see what I have been missing and JPN has some outstanding shots!



What started out as a rational discussion and my suggestions on a couple of
ways to deal with yEnc posts depending on which side of the argument you
fall on since as you so rightly stated in a post that since it’s Usenet
people are going to do what they want as it is not moderated and yEnc is not
going to go away, quickly degenerated into a pointless tit for tat ****ing
match between the two of us. That was never my intention nor do I believe it
was your intention either. I am not a jerk nor do I wish to act like one.
Hopefully this post will end the arguing between us and we can go back to
plane pictures since that is why we all are here.



To the rest of the board I apologize for eating up a lot of download space,
and I wish Clark an enjoyable and relaxing weekend! And to keep on topic I
have added this picture.

Indeed, Hub, your post shows you to be quite a gentleman. For the
record, I've already thought of you as one of the decent people for
some days now!

Some poster a few days back threatened that if people posted in yEnc,
they'd leave this group with no friends. Well, I doubt it has
anything at all to do with yEnc, but there's a goodly handful on this
group I already consider friends--they're just decent people, and I
really do hope some come to Oshkosh some year!

Hub,

In the photo, is that a F4U Corsair in the foreground?

A Sea Hurricane. two Barracudas, a Martlet, a Corsair and a Seafire!
Wonderful, but where taken? But there again, did Seafires have those
wing-strengthening strips fitted, or only Spitfires? Someone will know!

Yes it is! All in Fleet Air arm markings taken in the UK at(if I remember
correctly) a repair depot.Vintage WWII color.

IIRC at a UK Fleet Air Arm repair depot but I don't know which one.

Well, I for one never thought of you as a jerk, Hub. But, you have
"been very grumpy and cantankerous all week."

d;o)

I resemble that remark! 8>)

I am so confident that next year I will be there :-)
It's about time I did it.

Hub,

I bowed out of the yEnc discussion very quickly, as the one side very
cleary refused to change their favorite utilities, no matter what. The
only reason I waded in was that -rhetorically speaking- the claim that
switching to a yEnc-capable reader added "complexity" is not
objectively supportable.

I'm no yEnc bigot, and I even posted suggestions on how (non-OE) folks
can change their configs to avoid using yEnc for uploads. Despite
that, I got a fair amount of grief about the whole question, so I
skated.

Anyway. Thanks so much for this shot. I've never seen a Corsair in
looks to be British dark green & sea grey before! Not to mention a
shot with a Spit, Corsair, and Hellcat in one shot. Or should I say
Seafire, Corsair, and Gannet?

....And is that a couple of Faireys in the right-middle-ground?

Anyway, that's a great shot, with all the different types, and I'd
love to hear if anyone has any background context. For example: is
that really a base in England? The vegetation seems to indicate that.

Thanks!
Casey

I have been way too to do anything but lurk from a far the past few days. I
too am thinking about Oshkosh for next year.

What would be cool is if the NG's regular shooters could have some sort of
get together at the event. In the not too distant future I will do a repost
from my visit to Oshkosh a couple of years ago.

Attached is an image from an on going project of mine at Washington Dulles
Airport...

If you do, I will post mine from the same year.
Whatever happened to Tom?

Here is one. The gentleman is Bob Brunson, former
Corsair night fighter pilot. I got to speak with
him for about half an hour. I had hoped to
continue correspondence via email, but he chose
not to respond. Still, it was a privilege to
meet and talk with him.

What is the plane on the right just in front of the Westland Whirlwind?

Alright!

My guesses are. starting from foreground, Seafire, Corsair, Martlet
(Wildcat), on the right, a yellow-nosed Barracuda, then a black-nosed one,
then another Martlet half-out of the hangar. Facing at the far end, a
yellow-nosed Sea Hurricane and something peeping out of the hangar at the
left, which I wouldn't even guess at! I think the second Barracuda's tail
might have suggested a Whirlwind?

The landscape and the vegetation suggest that this could well be summer in
the UK but the different types of aircraft together with a lack of squadron
markings is strange. Could this be a museum or even a film set ? If it is
a UK airbase it's the worst kept one that I have ever seen, the grass is a
right mess and everywhere looks very shabby.

It's a bit late and it's a while since I saw the original post, but looking
at the colours, it looked a bit like it was a coloured-in black/white
picture. Or is it just my (lack of) eyesight.

Would a repost be possible.

It WAS an interesting picture.

It is an WWII FAA repair depot hence the many different aircraft.

There's an outside chance it could be Donibristle (HMS Merlin), in Fife,
which at one time was a Naval Aircraft Repair Yard.

Pat; Right you are, it lacks the Whirlwind's "bullet".
Thanks.
