A pommie calling the dutch black. Wow, I don't think anyone has ever called
Anthony Fokker an idiot before.
And I could "contribute all of the accidents to pommie idiots", but my
obnoxious character doesn't allow me to persecute anyone other than those
from the race that history will one day call "the scourge of the 19th and
20th century", the BRITISH EMPIRE. It is hated in more countries round the
world than the Nazi's were. It was a great day when the Chinese kicked them
out of Hong Kong, to finally end that scourge.

Geoffrey De Havilland died in a pommy heap of shit that broke up at
Farnborough I believe.

Just like the pommie aviation industry I don't have the necessary skills or
experience to design and/or build anything capable of safely carrying one
man, let alone several.

That would have been exciting PENETRATION. But I guess the aircraft
designer gave you no other choice.

Your Honour, I rest my case.
Sorry Eric, I commend you for your courage and honour, but lets face
it................if the pommies were so good at designing and building
aircraft, why did they let the French stuff up a near perfect
design......the Concorde. Or did the French allow the poms to stuff up
Concorde.
PENETRATION must only be performed when you are in full control.
