Warbird Information Exchange

Aces High operated G-TJET, an ex-Danish example in the 1980s, firstly from Duxford and later North Weald.

And I nearly said 'And Mike'll be along to correct me if I'm wrong'.

Citation to accompany award of the AirVenture Order of the Purpurnes Herz:

To all who can believe this...presents greetings. JDK distinguished himself in warbird gaulking, shutterbugging and Oshkosh hob-knobbing/cocktailing July 28-August 2, 2009. Though critically wounded in the midst of mounting Mechanisiertes Gefecht Leichtes Luftschauangrifffahrzeug to continue his singularly exceptional hard-charging assault on the AirVenture field of battle, he remained calm in the face of an unexpected (possibly self-inflicted) traumatic wound as evidenced by a most remarkable recitation of colorful prose not heard since the airing of "Gangs of L.A." He cooly directed one very line-of-sight not-really first responder warbird pilot (whose trauma training consisted primarily of being a chiropractic patient) who obeyed JDK's direction to "push here" and remedy the limb dangling like turd on a schnauzer's a$$. With a mighty PUSH/POP, warbird pilot guy pounded the limb like a baby seal and sent it home to it's socket like it owed him money (how hard can it be?). JDK responded with a YEEYYYY!!, shook it off, popped a life-saver and got back "in the game" and quipped, "d@mn the Mustangs...to the Lysander!". His obvious disregard for his safety (trusted a pilot as first responder? YGBFSM!), conspicuous gallantry against considerable odds reflect great credit upon himself and all Oshkosh Mechanisierte Kavallerie.
