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

I came across it some time before it was ready to fly. A Finnish colour scheme would be great - even temporarily.

And it flew on my 61st birthday! ;D

Wonderful restoration job! :thumbsup:

There's probably not much of the original in it - but neither is there in many restored Spitfires.

The Fokker, I'm still slowly, but at an ever increasing rate, falling apart. ;D  :thumbsup:

Speaking of whisky (hey, it's in the thread title), I got hold of some Aber Falls a few weeks ago, to tickle my 1/8th Welsh blood. It didn't last long!  :drink:

And that Lion redefines the word 'awsome'!  :thumbsup:

I never tried the Aber Falls. I did have the Penderryn from Wales though. Excelent!

Hmmm! I'd go for a 10 year old Laphroaig myself! Or, perhaps a 12 year old Bunnahabhain! ;)  :drink:
