Mach2

[NARSES2]

To be clear otherwise things could get very complicated - whenever do they do that on this site ?

Argos is a city in Greece and it's also a Catalogue Store in the U.K. Just in case some elsewhere in the world don't know that

and different again from the English argosy which means a large ship and apparently comes
from the old Italian Ragusea; a vessel of Ragusa. (OED)

Plural is argosies according to the the OED.

They must have had a few pints that night to get from Ragusa (which I've been to) to Argosy 

They dropped  their R's,  in a manner of speaking.  Ragusa -> agusea -> argosy.    I suppose it's possible.

Yup that's a way they could get from a to b  Not really an R dropper myself. My "problem" according to my old English master was my Th sound becoming an F. I still do it and can't see what the heck the fuss was about. Everybody who attended the school play that year understood what I said perfectly

Has there ever been a Mach2 theme build?

If there had been it may have ended up with NO completed builds!

Depends on how long you allowed - "The Mach 2 Theme Build is now into its 23rd year and shows no sign of having its first satisfactorily completed build".

Hehehehe. 

We'd need a rota of moderators for a GB that ran THAT long!

A hereditary post maybe?

Believe me, you do NOT want my daughter (Did you know she was the RAF's Best Air Traffic Controller?) as a moderator!

I seem to recall you may have mentioned it on the odd occasion, yes...

It would look nice with a RCAF lightning bolt. 

You can say that again ! There is/was one preserved down in Kalamazoo. Haven't seen it in almost 30 years I really need to get back down that way again !

There is? Where? I don't recall seeing one at the Air Zoo.

According to Wiki ones at Soiux City Iowa at the Warner Museum

Back in the 1980s, this used to fly out of the airport near where I lived in Adelaide:



Very fetching in yellow with black titles.

What a nice paint job.  I have a feeling Frankston Skycabs may be painting something similar in the future...
