My young friend at Southampton Uni studying aeronautics had the job of designing an aircraft. I made some suggestions and that's the one I built here at home from balsa wood. I suspended it in the hallway by very thin thread to determine the C of G. The background (yes, including cat and window frame) is a wall mural by Mrs OFSO of the Costa Brava, about 20 mins north of here. So aircraft and background came together more or less by chance. Oh and the plane is still hanging there, despite Mrs OFSO's cries of "Thunderbirds are Go !" every time she passes.

the background picture threw me.

Throws everyone. For reasons unbeknown, Mrs OFSO painted the scene reversed. You're looking north so the sea should be on the right.

I'll try to fix the chemtrails.
