Hi All,
Sopwith – No problem it’s usually my speciality brain farting…..:D

Hi All,
Personally I think it looks lovely and all who put the time and effort in from the boss down should all be appreciated for the completion of a good looking aircraft back to airworthiness…..:applause::eagerness::cool:
Top and bottom of it is we are all for the most just observers of somebody else’s work, at the end of the day they have the right to complete their project
how they seem fit after all they not only do this for themselves but our enjoyment and appreciation as aviation enthusiasts.
While we may have a right to criticize we should also bear in mind that those who complete these projects are the ones actually keeping history alive and
do it because of their enjoyment restoring whatever aircraft for themselves never mind others enjoyment which I am sure they also consider, whether it
be to static or airworthy standard.
The simple thing is to like or dislike if you like it give a positive comment, if you don’t keep any comment as a suggestion or PM those who post threads
about their projects I am sure that constructive criticism would be taken on board instead of putting someone’s nose with a possibility of it affecting future
projects being kicked into touch.
As far as I am concerned I can’t comment in a negative way about such things as I am not involved in the industry and if honest it should be left to those
who are to leave negative comments as they obviously know what they are talking about. No harm in liking whatever but just remember that a negative
comment, feedback could have an unforeseen effect on those who think they are doing a good job…..:rolleyes:

Hi All,
Defence Of The Realm (Via Talking Pictures channel on Sky). Still a good film after all these years IMO…..:cool:
Starring:-Gabriel Byrne,Greta Scacchi,Denholm Elliott,Ian Bannen,Fulton Mackay,Bill Paterson,David Calder,Frederick Treves and Robbie Coltrane.
Dennis Markahm (Ian Bannen) is forced to resign from the British Parliament after he is linked to a woman serving as an East German dignitary. As
reporters Nick Mullen (Gabriel Byrne) and Vernon Bayliss (Denholm Elliott) investigate the case, they discover that there may be more to the incident than
meets the eye, and that a nuclear near-accident at an Air Force base is somehow involved. Markham’s secretary, Nina Beckman (Greta Scacchi), agrees to help, but she may know more then she lets on.

Hi All,
Skyraider3D & Trumper – Yes I still keep an eye out on what’s happening and when I see something I like I let people know. Loved your future concepts
images I already posted them in this thread from the 4th/11 https://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?143724-Abandoned-German-aircraft-projects .
All you can do is your best when painting drawing etc. it takes practise and time along with patience when creating a piece of art no matter what level of
artistic skill you have and I applaud all you artists who give us the observer the chance to view your works the main thing is you never give in and
produce the images we like….:cool:

Hi All,

looking forward to this and his follow up about WW2…;)

Hi All,
Just thought Mark Pothelswaite ( https://www.facebook.com/MarkPostlethwaiteGAvA ) new piece of art should have a mention looks lovely IMHO…..:cool:
At this time of year I usually try to clear a slot in my schedule for a ‘seasonal’ scene, inspired by the low sun and autumn/winter hues all around us. These invariably end up being Bomber Command subjects as the bleak airfields tend to suit winter scenes whereas fighters tend to feel more at home in summer
skies! So I’m half-way through this year’s painting. It’s another Lancaster at dispersal but this one will be ready to go, props turning, chocks away and bomb doors closed. Here’s a short video of progress so far using timelapse and conventional film, the painting should be complete by 16th November so look out for the second part after then along with details of prints etc. Incidentally, I’m planning to keep the Lanc pretty generic as you can’t see the squadron codes, but if any collector fancies the original I’d be happy to add specific markings/nose art to suit. Canvas size is 44″ x 20″. Just get in touch. More info on my website.
The second part of my timelapse work-in-progress video for the new painting ‘Time to Go’. It depicts a Lancaster of 460 Squadron, (ED664 ‘A Aussie’) just about to release the brakes and head for Berlin during the autumn of 1943. This is my own little tribute to an old friend of mine, Ted Groom who flew a lot of his first tour aboard ED664. The original canvas is 44″ x 20″ and both this and limited edition prints are now available for sale from the website:- http://www.posart.com/product/timetogo/ If you have any questions, feel free to post them, I’ll try to answer the best I can.

Hi All,
The Way To The Stars (Via Talking Pictures channel on Sky) Love watching this film great clips of Blenheim’s/Boston’s/Fortresses and Hurricanes just

At an English RAF base, bomber flight leader David Archdale (Michael Redgrave) masks his concern over his possible fate from his wife, Toddy

begin arriving, Yank Johnny Hollis (Douglass Montgomery) provides Toddy with much-needed friendship, while Peter’s mounting bitterness comes between
him and his girlfriend, Iris (Renee Asherson).

Hi All,
The Night My Number Came Up (Via talking pictures on Sky) Enjoyed this B&w typical era thriller one thing I did notice was the Kai teck airport
is a lot more open than what it is nowadays…;)
Starring:-Michael Redgrave,Sheila Sim,Alexander Knox,Denholm Elliott,Ursula Jeans,Ralph Truman,Michael Hordern,Nigel Stock,Bill Kerr,Alfie Bass,
George Rose,Victor Maddern,David Orr,David Yates,Richard Davies,Hugh Moxey,Percy Herbert and Stratford Johns.
British Air Marshal Hardie (Michael Redgrave) is attending a party in Hong Kong when he hears of a dream, told by a pilot (Michael Hordern), in which Hardie’s flight to Tokyo on a small Dakota propeller plane crashes on a Japanese beach. Hardie dismisses the dream as pure fantasy, but while he is flying to Tokyo the next day, circumstances start changing to line up with the pilot’s vivid vision, and it looks like the dream disaster may become a reality.
