Oi, coffin dodger, as someone who considers Methuselah to be a bit of a whipper-snapper, don't you think it's tempting fate to start this thread?...

By 'moon' you mean 'sound stage' of course ;).

RIP :rose:

It's a shame that people like him and Armstrong are dying out before we've even been back, if only so we could take the photos the right way round this time.

Bush 41 is ill at the moment

He and Carter are both 92, and with Bush's breathing problems and Carters brain tumours there are in a photo finish for which one dies first.

Note the caption on the top picture indicating the 'correct' orientation. (Mind you, they do then have it the wrong way round later on. :D )
