Cool. Not a lot you can do when you leave a wreck somewhere anyway but
own up.
Wonder what he'd make of his countrymen's craze for burying vintage
aircraft.

It's been a mess over there for sure. That last Hurricane was a real shame.
I lost three friends in the UK in unrelated accidents in the last
several years. Ted Girdler (ex- Red Arrow 1972 was killed several years
ago doing a show, and Ormond Hayden-Bailee was killed several years ago.
Both were in the old IFPF as charter members. Hoof Proudfoot dug a hole
at Duxford with a P38 doing a double roll. Another first rate display
pilot gone.
The list gets larger every year it seems.
