We are All Brits...

Thanks for the link. Terrorists are the ultimate scoundrels.

BTW, you going to be parking in your usual location at OSH? I'll be in
the same row as the last several years. Hope to see you.

Same here. If you've figured out how to reserve a specific campsite in
the North 40, please be sure to let me know how it's done!

Each year we've been parked in wildly different locations, even though
we always try to arrive the day before the convention begins. Last
year was the ultimate spot -- right next to the clear zone at the end
of Rwy 27 -- and I'd give almost anything to get it again!

You gonna be around for the rec.aviation party at our campsite on
Wednesday night? It should be a great chance to put some faces with
some names -- last year we had around 40 people show up for food and
drink!

You guys okay? Our thoughts are with you and your countrymen...

we just get on with things. I had the inconvenience of having to walk a
couple of times on Thursday that's all.

Ah, that famous British "stiff upper lip"!

A lot of us just get on with it. The link is to a photo taken at about
16.15Z. Today is National Commemoration Day celebrating 60 years since the
end of WW2.

There are a few hundred thousand people who packed the Mall for a flypast by
WW2 planes, including Catalina, DC-3s B25, B17 and of course a Spitfire,
Hurricane and a Lancaster bomber. Best sound in the world is the Merlin
engine.

All these people were not going to have the day spoilt by what happened on
Wednesday.

The terrorists win when you change what you do.

Especially four of them all going at once!

We had the Battle of Britain flight at the Isle of Man Festival of
Aviation a couple of years ago.

At Oshkosh a couple years ago, they had (I think) 17 P-51's lined up side by
side, and they all fired them up, all at once! WoW !!!!

I'm a bit surprised that no one has brought up the horrible terrorist
attacks on London.

More importantly, I'm a bit worried that we haven't heard from any of
our British pilot friends on this group, like Paul Sengupta, Steven
Atherton, Chris Blythe, John Forster, and a host of others.

I suppose we are used to things like this having had the nonsense with the
Irish before then. Its not the end of the world and you have to be really
unlucky to be hurt or injured.

That's just about what this guy says.

"London knows as well as any city in the world what it's like to live with
the threat of terror. From 1981 to 1996, the Irish Republican Army carried
out a series of bombings in public places in London ranging from small pubs
to huge office buildings. Separately, government officials were murdered,
kidnapped and beaten.

I remember doing business in London during those years. I remember the
police checkpoints along the roads leading into The City — London's
equivalent of Wall Street — where cars were routinely searched for
explosives. It slowed things down, but life went on."

Salute to them all!

From a wannabe who monitors this group daily, many thanks for all the kind
thoughts.
