Dusting the aircraft hanging from your ceiling

Nothing wrong with target tugs, they are eye catching. Used to love Canberra WJ680 at shows.

Mike – I did word it very carefully 😀

You’ll be happy with Duxford and Hendon then, target tugs dangling from the ceiling at both of those sites! 😀

My mum was most definitely banned from going near my model collection – especially the ones which I spent hours ‘converting’ – such as my target tug Defiant… I love the old TT colours on models : )

That would have been at the Kelvin Hall, Daren. LA198 was moved to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery when it was refurbished in, I think, 2006 or 07. The MoT moved to the Riverside site in 2011 –

I think it must have been 2004 when I first saw her at the MoT then. The girlfriend couldn’t drag me away!

I stopped when my b26 fell, on the very moment the real one crashed. To my horror my mosquito did the same. Ran to the tv… felt sick.

I saw the Spit in the Museum of Transport years ago, when it first arrived in Glasgow. I take it that’s not the same place?

Looks like the Spitty having a close call on a birdstrike too 😀

Lol yes – the gulls – like there aren’t enough live ones in Glasgow as it is! Surprised that the Spitfire has not been moved to the newer Riverside Transport Museum which, though I haven’t yet visited it myself, I understand has little in the way of aviation exhibits. At least as far as complete aircraft are concerned.

Ugh – Wadpol – hate the smell of it but still use it occasionally —- yuk !

Nice giraffe pic MM… Looks like the Spitty having a close call on a birdstrike too 😀

That Lightning must’ve needed an awful lot of tins of Duraglit.

Wadpol you mean?

Reminds me of that Alain de Cadenet video clip….

Who needs wires? Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow have come up with a novel way of reaching their hanging aircraft – strategically position a giraffe underneath and you can just shimmy up its neck lol 🙂

My ceiling represented an unreal Theatre of War: Japanese, American, British, German all doing battle within the same airspace…with aircraft from World War I in close proximity to World War II’s finest. Nearby, on my wall shelves, I suppose the warships going back to Viking days would have suffered pretend shrapnel fallout from spent ammo and direct air-to-air gunnery hits above.

For aircraft, the strings were sort of a reverse barrage balloon scenario, minus the balloons. There were many obstacles to flight…

Mine was when my uncle visited, and he was putting his shirt on! you,d have thought the Luftwaffe had attacked my bedroom. Playing at being a searchlight with a torch lying on the bed was never the same again…

I lost a significant number of mine because the drawing pins didn’t hold in the ceiling plaster and they didn’t then survive the inevitable ‘pancake’ landings!
