Well just one actually and in an American aeroplane! A Carenado Beech Baron B58, registration G-BLKY. Built in 1984, (we've got a recession, can't afford anything newer) she is owned by Kebbell Holdings Ltd of Watford but kept in Guernsey (EGJB)

 

This is her:

Hey Ron, you do know our American cousins don't have aeroplanes don't you?!  They have strange flying machines called 'airplanes' whatever they are;-)))

You can ignore those machines - they're just the originals which others such as Airbus have started to perfect. ^_^

lol don't worry Ron, he's neither one or the other.  Apparently he's from somewhere called 'Earth' ;-)

Hey Phil, do you breathe "aero" or "air?" We here in America just have better vowel movements than you Brits! :LMAO:

I had my left knee slapped pretty hard by the rear stick of a Chip a few years back, after I had said "plane" (Sir)...  

 

"It's an aeroplane, Johnson - a "plane" is a tool which is used by a carpenter. You may refer to it as an aircraft if you wish."

 

Son-of-a-b.. gun. Never forgot it.

 

pj

 

Edit:  Of course one might assume that American "airplanes" simply "plane" along the air - which we all know - is absotively, poselutely impossible - the correct reason being that all are simply sucked aloft by utilizing the gravitational anomilies of the moon....

Ron,

 

I read your post in which you entwined "aeroplane / airplane" in what I took to be an "European / American" jest - so I followed up with a similar jest using "Airbus" which is apparently a "consortium of European aircraft manufacturers" who feel they are in the forefront of the industry.

 

They may have been in the news recently, which is why I thought to use the term.  I'm sorry if it's dated and/or they're bankrupted.  Mi bedaŭras. :Whistle:

@Paul J.: If the proper term is "aeroplane" then should not that be "aerocraft" as well?

 

Consistency is not something for which English is noted though, since we drive on parkways and park on driveways... :Silly:
