: I just calls 'em as I sees 'em!
Your title has reminded me of the deal whereby the RAF Museum traded a Beaufighter (IIRC) project with the Canadian museum at Rockliffe for a Bolingbroke project. When the RAFM received the Bolingbroke, its condition apparently wasn't as good as they had expected, and it's alleged that they said "Well, it's more Broke than Boling !" !! The excellent restoration for RAFM was done voluntarily by the then Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment (A&AEE) at Boscombe Down.
