Well done Chris. Of course to balance the article out it was deemed necessary to print Jon's "landing" elevating the winners satisfaction further. :lol:

Guys - When quoting, look at the quote text and delete the attachment line. There is no need to repeat the whole ;) post again. As you can see this small error has now boosted the ego of the one certain person you were trying to suppress. :lol: :evil:

I'm still waiting for evidence from Jon that this fabled Mig with no wings flew, but anyway, today I heard another story, this time about a full sized F8 Crusader that took off with the wings folded!



You'd have thought someone would have spotted that. I guess even the "best of the best" occasionally have a bad day :pinch:

Jon,Gromit will never believe it until you find those photo's.

Back in December on the 17th, after I'd delivered my witness statement, he said to me

David, are you trying to suggest that you have no vested interest in maintaining Jon's reputation?


Just remind him that I'm the judge who always rewarded you with the lowest scores, maybe he will accept my integrity then.

David, how does judging Jon harder than the other competitors show your integrity? ;) That is unless the other judges were blinded by his charisma and your scoring showed a true reflection of his dubious execution of the maneuvers :whistle:

Gromit thinks

Gromit's nearly right, I knew what Jon could achieve and when, occasionally in the heat of competition, he failed to reach that level then the score he got from me fell below that of the other judges who were bewitched by his magical skills.
So who showed greater integrity in giving his judgement?
Also, as a little aside, who demonstrates superior judgement when deciding how to spell "manoeuvres"?
Pots and kettles my friend!
