Ken has become very careful in specifying WW II aircraft in public. All we get these days is a murky "what seaplane I wonder"?

Being mistaken sometimes is fate/statistics, but cowardice and trepidation are the worms which devoureth a man's heart!!!

Just gone from a 6-figure bank balance to a 5 digit debt... I'd call that distracted... ;)
