KEITH: Hmmm ... I think maybe I was in error regards that Spitfire. Darn. I looked at the photo (black and white from a home made CD) and a writeup says "Supermarine 224" perhaps taken 1934?
a number on the plane MIGHT be 2857??? hard to make it out. That sound like a Spitfire???

Another old thang ([photo) is a "Supermarine Walrus"

I obviously don't know one plane from another but some of these older photos especially, are pretty interesting.

And by the way... that "Flea" really does look like a "Mary-Go-Round" theft!!! grin It also makes me miss our 4 cats (no longer with us...ran out of rabbit!)

(just kidding )
