Weeelll, my theory sort of works (as long as no-one thinks about it for too long)

hmmm, my ribs are really starting to hurt now. I now know how that poor Nessie Wimpy feels with her ribs all battered, bruised and on show (though mine are well padded with fat).

As long as when you're fixed up you don't show your bent props like the Nessie girl!

Spidge, you didn't? Surely that means I did then? Or should I say, my wife did?!

Right then...Dear Provenance Fighters, I bring to your attention the RAAF beaufighter you have for sale that is currently under airworthy rebuild. I agree to your asking price if you agree to free shipping to Western Australia. How would you like me to pay? Cash or cheque?

Kind regards...

Dear Provenance Fighters

Please pay no attention to that previous offer. No reason, just trust me.

Dear Provenance Fighters, keep your steenking Beau and give me a MOSSY NOW DAMMIT!

spidge, Kyt was making a rather stretched comment about the Wimpy's geodetic airframe leading to the construction of the Eden Projects geodetic biomes.

And don't forget the Wimpy's airframe was a direct result of Wallis's design for the airship R100. or was it 101? Am sure it was 100.
