    Anyone know of the Rizzi Bird in model form?

    Yeah, Gemini Jets do it in 1:400 and it’s on sale as I recall here… http://www.thresholdaviation.com

    It’s $29.99 Canadian Dollars, about £12. You’d probably pay around £20-£25 on e-bay I’m guessing ?

    There’s one on e-bay just now as well with around 5 days bidding left and sitting under a tenner so far.

    Ugh! that BA 757 looks rotten. The Blue is FAR FAR to bright.

    It’s a fairly common problem with early Gemini Jets BA models, I’m not entirely convinced by the size of the Chatham Historic Dockyard logo on the nose ?

    Renfrew, trust me given a few weeks anyone in the UVF can be found out. Cant go into how but just wait and see.

    I’ll eat my hat if this guy is anything to do with the UVF (is my point).

    Got some more yesterday, the long lost BA 757 from e-bay finally turned up. Must have been caught up in the West Drayton ATC fiasco (lol)… G-BPEJ

    I also a Cargolux 744F and a Caledonian Tristar from a very good dealer in Ontario, Canada called http://www.thresholdaviation.net. The prices there are excellent thanks to the Canadian Dollar exchange rate and the guys are very friendly and helpful too…

    Just head that the ATC computers crashed at 06:00 this morning in the UK and have only just come back on line, Manchester airport shutdown for one hour and has only just re-opened. Looks like there will be loads of delays today.

    A330 Crazy and T5 are stuck at Heathrow just now, supposed to be arrivng at GLA around 1005, gawd knows when they’ll get here now ? The BBC news is suggesting 2-3 hour delays.

    Just seen it on a.net, ex Caledonian Tristar, now with Air Express Liberia, A8-AAA. Looks in a very sorry state.

    Never mind, here’s my latest model to cheer you up…

    It’s ok folks, Sandy is a true internationalist (except when it comes to Glasgow people) :p

    I think what you’re complaining about Sandy as we’ve often figured, is the nationless, souless curse of the men in suits ?

    It happens around the world in all fields of industry, commerce and politics. I agree with you that there is a sufficient aroma of rodents concerning the Airbus and Concorde disasters to warrant secondary and unbiased investigations. Where those might come from though is anyone’s guess ?

    We know Sandy. We’re just “breakin’ balls” (said w/ N.Y. accent). 😎

    Said like Joe Pesci… “Are you brikkin balls with me !”

    How exactly are you going to find out this guy’s name ? You know nothing about him !

    This is just and I apologise to the victim for saying “just”, but it’s just another opportunist mugging by some ned pretending to be something he isn’t.

    Now can we change the subject and leave the terrorist theoretics out of this.

    Trust me, I’ve been mugged several times. 😡

    Deary me!

    That is disgusting! I think all EDI spotters should band together and catch this irish thug if he turns up again. .

    You’ll probably find he’s as Irish as the queen of sheba, If I’ve heard one story about a mugger, thief, alarmist etc being from the UVF, UDA, IRA or whatever, then I’ve heard a million.

    Probably a lame attempt at A: disguising his accent and B: a perverted attempt at justifying his actions.

    I wish I’d been there, I’d have shoved that hammer somewhere good and proper ! 😡

    I have to spend the afternoon with Darren Day unfortunately, but I’ll happily slap him one for every time a 744 touches down at LHR during your visit. 🙂

    Harmless banter. Just avoid the post you don’t like ! 😉

    Same old crap witnessed a million times more like. 😎 It’s as enlightening as being caught in a debate between East Fife and Cowdenbeath football supporters. :p
