The guy certainly has some self-image: """ Anyhow, I was thinking of Mitchell and his beautiful creation, the Spitfire. The guy barely lived to see it fly and he certainly didn't expect to fight in it. Yet a whole generation of men, Stanford Tuck, Sailor Malan etc. flew and fought in his magnificent machine. And another generation of scabby-kneed schoolboys, of which I was one, built Airfix models of the machine. It was just so beautiful to draw - the elliptical wings were just an exquisite line. I've been luckier, just, than Mitchell. He died of cancer shortly after his prototype took wing. The reason I think of him is because I think Qi has something in common with that beautiful piece of design engineering; and I also think that like Mitchell, it will be others and not myself who pilot it and exploit its amazing acrobatics to their fullest extent. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
