    a phrase involving the words shooting, self and foot leaps to mind… :Mad:

    Orion, how is the Halifax too much of a replica to be in a museum? In your opinion are replicas, even those incorporating a large proportion of original airframe and internal fittings, not worthy of being in museums? And yes I think your comments are a tad disrespectful and would cause offence, both to those who built her and to the veterans who make the pilgrimage of many miles, even from overseas, to see her. 😡

    iirc YAM approached IWM about the forward fuse, offering an understanding that if YAM (still in its infancy then) went belly-up the whole Halifax would go to IWM. Not unreasonably given the risk of dealing with a then embryonic museum, IWM declined.

    It was the finest pounce I’ve seen in a long time, respect is due!
    The hangars did seem a little bare. By the way I feel we should extend our apologies to anyone working in the buildings behind the hangars on Sunday, who was startled by 2 idiots peering in through the windows at the ‘hidden’ goodies…

    The wink was lost in the post eh?
    Reckon it must be the lighting in that bit of the hangar. We commented on how strange it was. The only one of the Victor I’m half happy with is the tail on shot.
    Only the Fort, Cat, 2 Spits, Harvard and Dragons of the ‘active’ fleet out in the rain. The Dragons flew for a short while in the morning, before the weather clamped in.

    The bias towards the Victor should be explained by my avatar pic mate!

    Be lucky Sky High!
    Was very funny when Benyboy was knobbled with the 105. He literally put it down for a sec while I showed him the 110 that had caught my attention, he turned back round to gather it up… and there it was, gone! 😮

    For the 1/72 110 in full Nachtjager trim? Somewhere between 11 and 13 English pounds between you, me and the gatepost. Is ver’ nice…

    The Israeli set was tempting, but the 110 was the better choice I think. And Benyboy was gazumped on an F105. Turn your back for one second…

    The first bus image that features the pilot re-enactor cries out to be a caption contest;)

    “I told you last time about sitting at the front of the top deck making dagadagadaga noises at the service 246 in front of us…”

    Isn’t there a CoC ruling on posting this sort of picture?

    …offending public decency?! 😉
