Gratitude in a Thread with Three Posts

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 08-19-2012 03:36

If you are going to drift off thread, the Officer's club is the place for it.

We aren't drifting at all. This was in it's very conception a drifter thread... And it is already in the Officer's club.

Care for a G&T by the pool, old friend?

Incredible shopping action, Joaquim.

We had Clippers Caprin Ca.4 in Prague (with the best bomber pilot we could get) and it was real fun.

It wasn't a shopping action, Sven. I had written an paper about why I should have a Fossmann Triplane and David (Clipped) decided that I should have one. Instead he sent me not one, but 5 of his own crafted planes.

It wasn't shopping. It was friendship.

Yes Niclas they tend to take on a life of their own but thats what we love about him.

Sorry Joaquim.
It was another one of those British "In my humble opinion" statements."
It actually means:- this is the place for it right here in the Officers' Club, and I am ducking my head because I have gone off thread in other serious posts elsewhere on the Drome and got a

for it myself. So I can't afford to criticise any one elses posts.
The G&T sounds a great idea.

Rob.

David we will add you to our prayer list.

Okay. One more way for this thread going on drifting!! I like it.

I would choose this one also:

**Guntruck** · 08-19-2012 04:55

Apologies for dragging this thread back on track again but:

Singles guns

[

Twin guns (Still not up to the 42 MGs quoted)

Right, that's me done - I'm off to salvage what's left of my weekend

It's a linguistic lapse of my part, Rob.
Sometimes it is hard to understand subtleties in other languages. I think that wars were fought on account of a joke being taken as something more serious.

In Portuguese "full of grace" can also mean "funny". Saying that to Cleopatra might grant you a head cut.

Clipper - THANK YOU! The Pacific NW received one of these that we will be "checking out" to clubs. So, we plan to send this to the Museum of Flight event at Boeing in November. Truly this is such an awesome gift Clipper...wow. Pictures to the website here will be a requirement of any use or display.
