Bye the way HP....

(obviously the same plane)
A plane is what a carpenter uses to shave wood.!!!!
Please use the term Aeroplane or Aircraft, as appropriate.

Won't see you all until tomorrow night.

I'm off to the prelude day at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Wossa betting I'm the only guy there who has achieved just under 1500 mph? - (that's fifteen hundred mph!)

Rumour has it that Lord March and his team are aiming to display 1000 E-Type Jaguars.

Champagne lunch anyone??

Since nobody else is around I'll piss off and talk to myself!!!!

A plane is [...]
Please use the term
Ahem!
Oxford:
plane1: noun a flat surface on which a straight line joining any two points would wholly lie. (etc, also adj and verb)
plane2: noun short for aeroplane.
plane3: (as you say) noun a tool consisting etc.

...but I will from now on use 'plane instead, if that pleases You...
Have fun at the festival and see you tomorrow night!

HP is correct. Some sources decode the Cryllic G to an F, but it is the same aircraft.
You have control.
