...
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one:
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods:
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

Thanks for reminding us. I think that comes from the Putnam books "Vickers Aircraft" with several versions of Twin-VC-10 and Triplex-DC-10 :wub: . Overleafing this book in York, UK, I bought it immediately. This was 8 years ago, visiting my sister working in England... Thanks for this nice memory. :)

Less far away in the past, our dear Linzifox talked about these multiple-VC-10 in the topic

Making me draw one more freak Dakota following this principle... Nice memory too. Dear Linzi, where are you?
