Hey Iban. I am no relief nor aid worker. I am an anti-environmentalist; I work in oil exploration and drilling. Actually, if I were to classify myself, I think that I could be one of the riders of the apocalypse as pior to working in oil / anti-environmentalism, I was involved in diamond exploration / war-mongering. 
   
  So there you have it, I am spawn of Satan I guess.
   
  As for the Supermarine Air Yacht, a few years ago I walked into a second hand book shop and they happened to have a book (Putnam) on British flyingboats, one of my many passions (not exclusively British, flying boats and floatplanes in general). Reading the book I came across the Supermarine Air Yacht. She ended up wrecked, but looking at it I was amazed by how Mr. Mitchel had been influenced by Mr. Dornier, as sticking out of the hull were two sponsons as seen on Mr. Dorniers creations. She was also rather Teutonic looking in that she was rather ugly and angular.
   
  Her history is short, yet she is rather interesting, so I decided I wanted one! Simple
