I went to NDAC today looking for something which others have told me about but I had yet to see. It appears that it was a new attractation attached to the Devon aircraft in 24m. There was some craftmanship involved and it must have taken some time to put it together, so I wanted to see what the fuss was all about.
Well here it is.
This thing weighs in at 3.5kg, which meant that when it was removed it was a little difficult to carry around NDAC but I wanted to bring it home as I believed that as it refers to me (in a derogatory way), I have a right to have it. Besides, I need a little lead to melt down to make a P- or V- weight.
Now, if this was a joke, fine, I am the first to laugh at myself and my mates; that is how life moves on. When I first heard about it, I thought it was Howard Jnr as this is the sick sort of thing that he would get up to. However, I questioned both Howard and Garf (as he was the second contender!) and they denied it and I believed them. However, normally a joke has a punchline and as Garf said when I chatted to him about this; if it had been either he or Howard, they would have put it in place, not told me and then took me on a dive so that I could see it, just to see my face!!
However, if this is a personal attack on me, again fine, but I would like to know what I have done to deserve this as the plaque has been there for some time now (several months) and that means plenty of people have seen it. If someone knows the background behind this but doesn't want to name the individual, can they please let me know so that I can reply and they can pass it back onto the individual concerned.
I am a little disappointed that someone would go to the effort of making something like because I genuinely don't think I have done anything to deserve it. If so, please let me know and I will try and rectify the issue and make sure I don't piss anyone else off!
However, at least this wasn't as bad as scribbling Chasey's name in the mud in a cave in the US and blaming him for the 'vandalism'!!
