One thing I forgot to mention. My airplane has a baggage door in the
turtledeck, right behind the pilot's shoulders. Several years back, I
replaced the blank piece of wood with a "sandwich" of 1/8" ply and lexan.
I can print out banners using my ink jet and install them in a matter of
minutes. I usually design a new one every year for the Arlington Fly-In.

My original door was a pinball-game backplane (from the famous Bally game,
"Fly Baby", complete with coin slot and score counters :-). The second

was
a Fly Baby 40th Anniversary one. The one for last year features the
"supersonic" Fly Baby:

Hey! How come a certain "Z Campbell" is now a Brit? (see list of witnesses
to Ron's supersonic Fly Baby record).

I reckon you guys over that side of the pond might just be trying to
distance yourselves from that disreputable bit of pond life :-)
