    Yes, I hope he is fixed again,he should have had his op in Hozzy yesterday!
    So he should be kicked out either today or tomorrow.(depending on the tolerance of the nursing staff!):D

    Quiet isn’t it without him?

    Nobody seems to mind the odd “new-build” Mustang. But when it’s a Spitfire… :rolleyes:

    Whatever way you want to look at P9374, it’s a stunning achievement, regardless of the amount of new/old material in her.

    I could not agree more. It is a beautiful aircraft and I can’t praise those who produced it highly enough!

    I am sitting here building the Matchbox Meteor as I type this. Waiting for the next shed load of Milliput to go off! This “B”kit has nearly gone out of the window or under my foot several times in the last few days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    According to the BBC news website this morning you’re all wrong, it was a Heinkel fighter!!!!

    7.55a.m.Local TV Points West called it a HECALL, that was corrected by the 8.25 update.

    Whats the latest,have all the aircraft and exhibits moved yet?

    My motivation for asking was this thread on another forum.

    http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=37471

    BTW is the search function likely to be fixed as the only way I found this thread was dear old Google?

    Alas the hovercraft in the photo is not an SRN4, but a French SEDAM N500

    Two of them built, one destroyed by fire…the other scrapped and made into Spitfires!!

    That it then. The French build quality is as good as their cars!!!

    I am sorry I can’t play this game. My form of military transport was usually one of these. A Landy would be sheer luxury after this(*********g) thing.

    Who would have thought that over a couple of decades, a Spitfire wreck looking like a pile of “scrap metal” would become airworthy and a perfectly airworthy Hovercraft would become a pile of scrap metal…:eek:

    Not just yet!:)

    I echo what Andy has just written and I hope yours is ok. A quick google brings up replica’s from £12.50 and aged replica’s for about £25.

    Well my contribution to this is In the central circle on the reverse the Royal Cyphers, GV, GVI, EIIR, appear above the date 1918. The year of issue is engraved on the lower arm of the award. The DFC is issued unnamed.

    kev35 Thankyou so much you have ruined my evening. I completely missed the reduction in the winter fuel allowance. That means five bottles less of Aldi’s £9.99 cheap scotch to keep the cold out this winter!:mad::)
