Silly Week 2010

 

A little known secret weapon at the end this decade was the Bamford Bomber.  To keep it secret was allowed to go into combat in it's original magenta paint scheme.  It's creator was just looking for a good ET at the local dragstrip , but found out that the short air foils allowed it to go airborne due to to in installation of a Rolls Royce Merlin engine, that was a real bitch to hook up with the stock limey transmission.....but somehow it worred.

Alas poor Steve was last seen flying high over the wilds of Ontario in his RAF leather helmet, looking for a place to set her down....  AYE?

Happy landings Steve.
