Sadly the Beaufort pub in Bristol closed down last year, I believe its sign with its painting of a Bristol Beaufort, should be displayed at @BristolAero

The Whale was considered “dangerous,” and the Intruder was not. 🤷♂️
@Hush_Kit @BristolAero There is a Beaufort pub in Hendon, very close to the RAF Museum London where you can see a Bristol Beaufort!
@Hush_Kit @SkippyBing It's very much harder to gain followers here nowadays. I used to get about 1000 an month in 2022, now its more like 200 or so. Of course, it could be just my content is worse than it was in 2022!🤔😂
@Hush_Kit RE: SB2C - on its carrier quals aboard YORKTOWN (CV-10) there were so many accidents, incidents, and near-misses that her skipper recommended that the program be cancelled forthwith.
@Hush_Kit If you calculate the number of Vodka Martinis, the amount of caviar Bond had drunk and ate.... Thunder of Pancreas would be most apt
@Hush_Kit I know there's a reference in the DC-10 part about MC and Boeing merging, but I still liked to point out MCAS disaster. (I was on the toilet, and only skimmed the article).
@Hush_Kit The MD-11 also got a dishonourable mention in a song, with a slightly obscure rap/folk crossover about SwissAir 111. “Fact: MD-11 in the ocean Close to the coast of a cold Nova-Scotia Left JFK, smelt smoke in the vulture Found fire in the hold, never found closure…”
Portrayals like the flyer in the quoted post can go to hell. This is what 4 x 50-somethings looks like, capable of walking 100km of the South Downs in 21 hours!
@Hush_Kit Some more pics :)
@Hush_Kit I have the pic from the same hangar but different perspective ;)
@Hush_Kit I thought more along the lines of 'From A Kill The Day After Tomorrow With Love...'
@Hush_Kit At today's prices perfectly understandable old chap.
