We had a BBC loan Dalek in a bookshop I was working in once.

A member of staff got in it one moring before opening and waited an extrodinary hour before making a customer wet themselves. Ah, fun days. 😉

Doctor WHO where are YOU!!!!

From a planenuttter and old WHO freak! downunda!

(have a WHOLE section of me book shelf devoted to Science fiction! as well., long live Jule’s Verne and the rest of the CLASSIC Science fiction dude’s)

Com’on a SHARK Lanc!!!!, I think it would look awesome!!!!

I do still lurk here mate, but am very busy with other things right now- building a Dalek, for one. (Don’t ask!)

at the risk of swinging my own thread completely off topic, a friend of mine once built two daleks and a tardis (very good ones too) and proceeded to make his own three hour Dr Who film complete with explosions and car chases. During the week he reverted to humble science teacher status.

LOL @ Hatton!

Re. my wishes for the Lanc’s new look, well, as you kindly asked, I thought I’d like to see it flying around with this kind of budgie-perch shaped thing beneath it’s tailwheel you see, and perhaps with the sound of Glenn Miller on a loop playng nearby and the smell of something that’s purported to be food, but upon purchase, really, really isn’t…all in the murk and gloom, of course!

cheers DBW, i’ll have a looksee on their site, should have looked earlier today come to think of it as i have just ordered two of the lancastrian conversion sets from them, going to do one standard lancastrian (starwatch of BSAA) and the engine test bed i think too, more model lancs getting bought too methinks 😀 .

best regards,
Greg

slightly off topic but does anyone know if these markings for “Ropey” are available for a 1/72nd scale model? i have got five unmade (and one almost completed) model lancasters and not decided on all the markings yet, those i have decided on are ! gibsons dam raid aircraft (almost complete) 2, (617 grand slam) 3,9 sqn standard B111, 4, Hendons S-sugar, for another i am thinking of converting it to a lancastrian, any other ideas folks?
cheers,
Greg

Hannants at Lowestoft used to sell a set.

She would 😮 LOOK 😮 real mean :dev2: .

just my 2 bob’s, from downunda 😉

I think my thoughts on what a good new scheme could be are well known!

no lancman, please tell us all 😉

i thought this thread would lure you out. 🙂

Hi Fluffy

I do think that the lanc represents all the guys who did’nt come back. just think she would look good in an everyday squdron colours insted of a famous lanc.

I have all the info for both, but you will have to wait and see.

i can live with that……………unless we can bribe you 🙂

MKIX and hopefully Hurri LF going to Exeter

New scheme will be ??????????? or ??????????? from ???Sqn and will be applied 2006/7 as the Lancs major serv has been put back a year. I have all the info for both, but you will have to wait and see.

You complete and utter b*****d.

Good though init.

AF (Ex BBMF)

She looked fine when she flew over North Oxon about an hour ago.

Spitfire (? only caught a glimpse) flying in very loose formation sounds odd to me. Not a Merlin, perhaps?

Sorry I have only just seen Norman Franks book, schemes already picked and Scott whilst I agree with you we have crew who would prefer not to fly the Lanc in a scheme that was shot down and crew killed but don’t you think that she still flys she remembers all those crews who didn’t return and gave their lives for this country.

Hi all

Here’s an idea as the lanc is always painted in famous lanc colours how about picking a lanc that was lost with it’s crew on a very early mission to give a very big thanks to all the guys who didnt last very long who made the ultimate sacrifice for there country.

I always fancied Red Bull colours myself.

I’ve got an idea….why not strip it down to natural metal, paint RAF ‘D-Type’ roundels on it, block in the turrets and mount a wingtip on top of the fuselage where the dorsal turret is?

Lanc repaint
