That's even before my time!

 

I give you Djimi Traore.

 

 

 

 

He even got his own song about it.

 

Based on Blame It On The Boogie

 

Don’t blame it on the Biscan,

Don’t blame it on the Hamann,

Don’t blame it on the Finnan,

Blame it on Traore,

He just can’t, he just can’t, he just can’t control his feet...

 

 

:laugh:

Presidents keep the title President after leaving office. It's honorific.

 

It's still President Carter, President Clinton and President Trump whether you like it or not.

Yes, I know they keep their title, but they don't keep the position - sheesh!

Could "Concorde" have been the name of that specific plane such as "Memphis Belle" was/is the name of a specific B-17?

 

We didn't tend to do that. The only one I can think of was Grey Nurse and that was done by the Aussies, and I think more than one got the name painted on.

Not unknown. Here’s a selection of nose art on Lancasters.

and on Canadian Halifaxes:

And apparently, there’s a book on it:

“RAF & RCAF Nose Art in WW II” by Clarence Simonsen
