Work continues today with establishing the structure of the site's principal navigation - the menu in the left column as well as the "location bar" at the top of each page. To facilitate smooth integration between the different pages of this site I'd rather have these features generated in JavaScript than physically copied between pages. On the other hand, caution should be applied so that spidering robots and non-script-enabled browsers can still be supported.
Casual readers who are more
interested in aircraft than this Internet mumbo-jumbo are kindly asked to bear with me. With a bit of luck "normal" articles should start to appear on this site within two weeks. Establishing a proper technical solution is just a necessary first step.
By he way, have you noticed this brand-new Airfix Spitfire yet? It is the newest addition to the 50-year long Airfix line of plastic Spitfire kits. Fittingly, it is also the first entirely new product of that company since their bankruptcy end the subsequent purchase by Hornby last year.
Here it is, and I can recommend a
review of it by Brett Green of Hyperscale. Of interest is also this
discussion thread at Aircraft Resource Center.

Three cheers for Airfix, the company that refuses to die! Long may it prosper because I, for one, cannot contemplate a world without it!
Looking at Brett's expose' of the new kit, I think I can do something with it. I can see the prototype as a strong possibility also with this kit as a starting point. Thanks Brett, I'll be picking up one or three when they hit the shelves.
