I appreciate that you have no such interest and consider anyone who fails to think identically to you as somehow wrong or inferior, but somewhere inside you must be able to acknowldege such a possibility? No?
    Two things.

    I don't actually know exactly what a VC10 is, I assume a big plane and secondly the statement above is possibly the most inaccurate thing you have ever said on here.

    I think of no person as inferior to me, never have.

    I simply fail to grasp how a person may mourn the loss of a plane, or a car as another example - even when one has an interest in said things.

    The fault here would appear to lie with your lack of imagination, I'm afraid.

    Clash, innit. "I'm flying in on a DC10 tonight"

    Oh, that's DC10.

    I expect they all piss in the same pot tbh.

    I'm afraid I have to agree with the swivel eyed old brexopath here s. The VC10, four big fúck off engines ON THE TAIL made it somehow majestic looking. A sort E-Type of jet planes.

    You see to me a plane is something you step onto (or into), take your seat, maybe have a beer, get off an hour or a couple of hours later. I could not give two fúcks how many engines it has hanging out the back.

    A functional piece of machinery, albeit a magnificent feat of engineering, that serves a purpose.

    Kind of like a car, but without the boot space for the big shop.
