How many posts can one person get from a single magazine?

Does it really say ... 'Inspiring The Future' for an article for 426?

Hi all.

Just been reading the Flypast article on 426 and i must say i'm impressed with the work they are carrying out.
I hope when they repaint the airframe that they choose the right shades of paint and get rid of that airfix look. :p
Keep up the good work lads. :ymapplause:

Just if anyone is interested, I've been following topic on UKAR of the work they are getting up to down at Southend.
Its a good read... http://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=664&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
Also last few posts are a good laugh. I posted an edited image of them at work.
