Welcome aboard mate.
We have flown a Wimpy sortie together in the desert last year. I bombed an airfield and you followed in after me. We met up at base having passed close by each other on the return going in the opposite directions.
Hope to see you in the mess soon. I'll stand you a pint.
Flak.

for those under 50years old (and possibly non British), gold top was the colour of the bottle cap, its (was) full cream milk, ie 30% cream - as opposed to silver top which was standard, and the reason why birds pecked holes in the cap to get to it back in the day. Glass bottles it used to come in - and be delivered to your doorstep (before you got up).
It was also far preferable to the present watered standard(especially on corn flakes perhaps not so much in tea) - and dont even attempt to push uht to me.

Ah the good old days.
On really cold mornings the milk had pushed out the top too and frozen solid.
We used to squabble over first dibs on our porridge.
Had to fill the coal scuttle and light the fire to get hot water.
Ice on inside of the windows.

It's really nice to have a place on the internet where you can talk openly about milk.
The ATAG forum just keeps on giving !

I like a drop of full cream milk in my coffee,
I don't drink a lot of milk thou, takes too long to get pissed, I prefer beer.
Don't let Grudges fester and poison your future happiness......get your revenge as quickly as possible.
Did you watch "The Adventures of Black Beauty" series 1 in 1972 on London Weekend Television? Here's the theme music!
I was ten or eleven when I found an intense desire to watch a horse program every Sunday... Exquisite stories of English country life, starring the most beautiful equestrian girl in the whole world: Judi Bowker.
You can watch episodes on YouTube.
At age 19 I married a lady who, just like Judi, was trained in ballet, and a skilled horsewoman, and cover-model for fashion magazine Vogue in her teens... All her youth she'd heard that she looked identical to the 'Black Beauty' girl on the TV! I have some problem with this next picture because it looks exactly like a photo of my first wife while it isn't!
I heartily recommend watching the stories, kids will love it, truly a blessed era that will never return.
Uncanny beauty. We were married six amazing years.
She was the first of four... my second wife looked more like the lady in this cockpit-companion picture below...
Regrets? I've had a few...

What a great story, Bondi!
Yes, I remember watching Black Beauty and falling in love with Judi Bowker (who didn't?) and...... I also married a stunning blonde in 1979, who I am still lucky enough to be married to today. She's not a Judi Bowker...more an Agnetha from Abba! And she has the personality (and patience....just as well!) of an
angel! Her name is Jennifer and that's the reason I have a 'J' in the registration of my aircraft.
The idea is: if Jen knows I have her 'immortalised' on the side of my aircraft, she'll be so thrilled she'll let me fly far more often than I should! It's working so far!
She has given me two clever, wondeful sons, who have never given either of us a moments grief and who were both very successful in the entertainment and music business. Well, they were before covid struck.....but I am hopeful they will get back on their feet once life returns to normal.
I have tried to get a picture of Jen in my cockpit but have failed miserably so far. Any tips, hints...guidance gratefully accepted! Salute!
