My FW190 is called Dignitas!

Barry Conway from Wiltshire is an 80-year-old former RAF Phantom pilot (which explains a lot) who got bored flying airliners. At the age of 50 he started to build a half-size replica FW190 in his tiny garage and finished it 10 years later.

During a flight last week he decided that the lines on a field were a runway but they turned out to be tractor ruts and the plane flipped over. Fortunately he survived.
His wife is not impressed. She nicknamed the aircraft 'Dignitas'   :wacko:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
