I find the term 'aeroplane' quite in keeping with these veteran machines, but as an American I do find it a bit strange when the British refer to an F-22 or F-117, or even an A380, as an aeroplane. I actually work as a volunteer at Shuttleworth, and from this viewpoint I am aware of the fantastic amount of work required to keep these aircraft flying.

I have been to Shuttleworth a couple of times, and is certainly is a trip back through time. The only gripe I have is that the English use the word "aeroplane", not the Americanised "airplane". It would have been only courtesy to use the correct spelling, even in the name of the company mentioned. When in Rome, etc... :-) Great post.
