Oh yes, an S6B would definately rock my boat!! What a beautiful machine, just stunning
A couple of years ago I got into an argument with my old school, I discovered by accident one of the S6B pilots attended my old school, I was amazed. Anyway I wrote to the school suggesting t was a poor show that I only found out by accident and proposed a small plaque or something to commemorate the event and the pilot. Well needless to say the response was "what's the Schneider Trophy?" and why would we be interested in that? I bet if the school had been home to some former lesbian single mother gay rights activist leader of the Communist party or something they'd commission a statue in gold but a true British hero is ignored and deemed insignificant, crikey that made my blood boil!! Well I gave the headmaster a piece of my mind on the subject, I don't expect any invitations to school reunions anymore, ha ha!!
