 Corsairs too  ;)

Referred to in some - largely rural, north of Hadrian's Wall located - regions as, uhum, Hellcats.

But we're forgiving folk here and generally don't dwell on negligences, no matter how high on the howler richter scale.

So your dad built Thunderbolts - what a pedigree!!!

I'm the only "normal" person on this forum, please be welcome here  ;D
 

Mind you, Mark does have enematic enigmatic pet subjects that recur again and again, model trains & tunneling for instance.

That said, do you have an opinion on Ritchie Blackmore by any chance? And Jimmy Page?

And the science of studying the interdependence of Subarus and Thunderbirds. 

BTW....how are you on surf music and Dick Dale?

Whew! Lets see- Blackmore, one of my heroes. Responsible for influencing more guitarists than you could shake a stick at. Page, oddly enough another of my favorites-wore out his Outrider album-twice! Gwynneth Paltrow- good actress, haven't followed her career too closely(my movie viewing is spotty at best-I'm a nerd). Now, I will admit that due to an overabundance of alcohol and recreational chemicals and herbs back in the 80's, my attention span is a bit short at times and my mind veers off the beaten track at other times, and sometimes does both at once, so my potential for weird is great. That said, I avoid enema territory at all costs-it reminds me too much of where I work...Oh, yeah-surf music and Dick Dale, i was raised on the Ventures and the Beach Boys. Dick Dale is a beast! Sorry if I miss a question-I will try to catch everything eventually.

We have a diplomat amongst us, gentlemen!

Furry enough, he did dodge the squirrel subject though!



Nerd qualities, otoh, are of mandatory nature here.

Who is the philistine who referred to Corsairs as Hellcats? Go get the comfy chair! The soft cushions! No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Why did Salvador Dali cross the road?
Clocks.

Squirrel?!? What squirrel?

And...nobody would mistake a Corsair for a Hellcat. Even though they both sported the impressive Pratt & Whitney R-2600 twin-row radial engine, the reverse gull wing of the Corsair made it immediately recognizable, and distinguishable from the Hellcat. Funny thing though, those were the two Navy and Marine warbirds that made mincemeat out of the Mitsubishi Zero.

Alas!, if 'twas only so ...
