Given the essential nature of aviation to overcome the "Tyranny of Distance" both within Australia and from Australia to the rest of the world, aviation has a strong imprint in the Australian psyche.

I think the passion of Australian collectors is simply a reflection of that.

Either that, or listening to the empty rhetoric of Barak O-Godhelpus, or the wicked witch of the NSEW!

Finally, somebody admits it...you Canucks want to take over the US! I knew it! You'll never get away with it, though...we're mobilizing 100 divisions of illegal aliens as we speak, and they'll be marching to Canada just as soon as we can issue the green cards to them.

Oh yeah!! We'll boobytrap all the backroads with maple syrup to slow down the advance and then launch a volley of cases of 2-4 of Molson to crush the attackers.

And any captured invaders will be forced to watch a hockey game eh? If they have to watch Toronto, then they are seriously in the doghouse!

Go ahead and try! You'd be better off shooting us with stinky ol' Moosehead instead of Molson...we'll just counter with Coors and Schlitz, and a hundred other brands of lousy beer!

Does this topic have anything to do with 400th scale planes?? Nope!

Are collecters around the world just trying to have a bit of fun with the hobby? Yep!

It's all ok, this thread won't break down into a global fight, not unless the U.S. launch their missiles first.

p.s. To the U.S., I would really rather you don't launch, cause we only have empty beer bottles to throw back at you........they only have a limitied range
