    Review My Website

    Nice and tidy looking site, well done! I think sourfacedcyclop raises a very good point, the site doesn't scream aviation - it could definitely do with more plane influences. On a related point - I can't quite tell what the logo is, looks a bit like a vegetable? and you repeat the image for...
