you're right phil--- on a different note---- his dad was a halifax bomber pilot during WW2 ..... got shot down..and ended up in the P/W camp that the film 'the great escape ' was based on...he cooked on the stove that one of the tunnels was underneath.......

OK, I feel like an interloper - but I suppose I'll just have to make do with a kebab like everyone else - boom boom!
 
Ken has been having a few issues with photos - so he has sent me a few he says he can't post. Now I'm not so sure - I think he's just trying to get me in trouble with the great Enrico (peace be upon him!). But anyway here goes....
 
The first one Ken entitles "Enrico's Family on Holiday"
 

The second is simply entitled "Enrico's Family"
 

(no wonder the poor man looks harassed!)
 
Finally we have "The HTP"
 

(Love granny with the 12 bore!) Looks to me like the Dog's the only one that isn't interbred!
 
Anyway, there we have it. Piccies sucessfully posted.
 
Ken - I'll post a little later on the Pitts Cafe thread how I did this - for your and Terry's benefit (and anyone else that wants to read it!) as Terry was having similar problem I believe.

Can't work out which of them in that last photo is Ken...

And it looks to me like Grandpa is holding the 12-bore. Granny meanwhile seems to be smoking a pipe!
 
 
Yes - you're right John it is indeed Granpa with the weapon - Shades of "Deliverance" - diddle didi dum dum! Get your banjo out...

the trip to the hills was to the say the least full of thrills and spills....enrico who had his new D60 out for it's 2nd time wasn't happy flying around at 100 mph+ ... he had to have a mid air with a 48 in zipper...who's fuz is still out on the hill face(prob never to be seen a again)...i lost one of mine due to a flat batt......after a search.....me and enrico found it a fair old distance away...minus its rudder only.....and we had a visit from some full size ... which passed us low and slow with it's undercarriage down..it was accompanied by a couple of euro-fighter typhoons....check out the photo's....

following on from the carnage at the hill....i was given the wing from the zipper that had a mid air--- i'm having a go a building a new  fuz.......the laughing assasin(enrico) lent me his fuz for reference and here are the results so far........ built from scrap wood...... i'm now busy glassing it.....
 
 





he/she..is slightly larger around the waist....but as enrico's carries a far bit of lead....should be fine.......
