This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

They use lifting bodies:  Severian comments on it somewhere, how this
strange flier with wings was built by someone who didn't realise he could
simply shape the entire craft

On a completely tangential matter: Severian's reaction to the aeroplane
seems to indicate or at least imply that winged fliers are unknown in his
era.
