Re: date format
Can I make one plea in the imperial/metric debate
A Spitfire does not have an 11.23 metre wingspan or 7.7 mm Browning machine guns Equally a Fw190 does not have 0.79" cannon Please would people use the units that applied at the time, if you want to put the equivalent in brackets afterwards to aid comparison that is fine The other day I read that Mustangs were fitted with 340 litre drop tanks with no sign of US Gals anywhere and it hurt, it really hurt Martin

Re: date format
Richard is right. This has been gone over before. Dates are confusing. With everyone using a data base of some sort I would have thought that a standard would have been established by now.
Having started using DOS dBase III before Windows was in existence I quickly found out that there was only one efficient way to sort dates, yymmdd. I don't know for sure, but I suspect over the years there are numerous programs that sort dates in any format you can think of. But, that format has always worked for me. Best regards to all. Walt
