Wayfarer 5 Posted July 16, 2011 Loved the poem! I only usually fly the BE2, but recently tried the Roland in a test flight to check I had installed Bletchley's mods correctly. Perhaps a BE2 pilot should keep quiet, but at one point I was flying sideways for quite a bit! As my reinstallation isn't going perfectly, however I would be happy to fly either one of them. Off now to post in the general help section! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well if you hadn't ahem borrowed it from Mr Poe then who else ??? I think Mr Poe is ideal for the dark times in which we fly... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted July 16, 2011 That's a lovely poem, Lou - thank you very much, Mr. President! The scones as a colour photograph are torture though! I loved to have tea and scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam, both times I was in Cornwall, but I can't get them here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast 153 Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) That's a lovely poem, Lou - thank you very much, Mr. President! The scones as a colour photograph are torture though! I loved to have tea and scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam, both times I was in Cornwall, but I can't get them here! Greetings Herr Olham, Making Scones is fairly straightforward I have a few recipes if you would like them, son of a Baker and being English its in my blood so to speak... as to the Jam easily sought as I have found some excellent jams here in Austria the clotted cream though is a bit tougher though you could replace it with standard whipped cream its what I do here in Vienna...

Olham 164 Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Yeah, a recepy would be nice, Slarti! And maybe better than whipped cream would be "Creme Double", which you may be able to buy in Austria too. Edited July 16, 2011 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TSmoke 2 Posted July 16, 2011 Not to be rude but I have a question for Olham. In your post you said "I loved to have tea and scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam." What in the heck is clotted cream? Also find a few recipes for Scones, they are oh so simple to make. If you can boil water to make tea you can bake scones. It is however a bit of a process to make fresh jam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted July 16, 2011 It is something special from England. As fresh and tasty as good butter, but whiter, softer - a delicious dairy product in combination with the scones and the jam. Hmmmm!!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clotted_cream Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmmm!!!! http://en.wikipedia....i/Clotted_cream In France they have a soft, sweet cream type cheese that's remarkably like a really thick spreadable yoghurt. Not sure what they call it, but it was available at the rest stops/ restaurants we stopped at. It was really good, they had a lemon flavored version that was very good.

Flyby PC 23 Posted July 17, 2011 Nice job again Lou. If seeing things is good enough for Sir Stuffy Dowding, then who am I to argue?- But I still prefer my spirits inside the glass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herr Prop-Wasche 7 Posted July 17, 2011 Wonderful job, Lou. ...and ghosts do exist! Anyone who has seen a plane go down in flames or has seen a pilot jump from his mount is bound to have been haunted by a spirit or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dej 17 Posted July 17, 2011 Mmm... Cream Teas... and oodles of Ginger Beer. The Devon way of eating them is the best, IMHO. Another cracking edition, Lou. Contact (tink... tink... tink...) Clear! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
