And nothing to do with my having cannibalised a previous illustration, ho no *cough*<br /><br />That's Geraldine's mum, I guess, Anji. The similarity is quite striking, isn't it? -It works the other way round, too; the Bristol Aeroplane Company, for instance, turned their hand to making prefab houses and motorcars after the war... <br /><br />Hi, Snafu!

You should change your byline to 'I draw really good pictures' I guess you make a living from them.<br />English Electric also made TVs in the 50s. Huge things that were designed to stand in a corner, having a corner shaped back.snafuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07588812293454033077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-63147098491877142112011-07-23T14:49:17.784+01:002011-07-23T14:49:17.784+01:00So how old does that make Geraldine?

Or should that be a confused birdwatcher wondering about genetic mutations.<br /><br />My neighbour who flew for the navy, he is odd like that, landed on a main road<br />near Birmingham because it was a bit foggy elsewhere and had to leave crew on board to guard the parachutes, very in demand for making underwear at the time. The one before him crashed his Harrier on the side of a German autobahn and got a huge bill from the German version of the RAC for his "breakdown".<br /><br />Planes, pilots hate us calling them that, find themselves in the most interesting places.<br /><br />This series of testosterone fuelled madness is most fun.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133031265351841626noreply@blogger.com
