john stones 1 - Moderator Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 What they mean? Tongue in cheek this so don't get irate. Seen many used, most make me smile. Bank n yank. Hows yours turn then ? Not flying on wing ? (something to do with having a bit of grunt upfront ?) what's it flying on then ? where the later Spits or Mustang with RR in not flying on wings then ? Flying in a scale like manner my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
