I haven't  listened to the audio, but the pictures look mildly interesting. Given the usual standard of media reporting, just watching the video silently seems less likely to raise the blood pressure

Just for a change the commentary is not too bad, no political or cynical comments at all.

Love the shot of the Sea Vixen folding it's wings.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Another Lynx. AKA the Wildcat
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.
