    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! 😡

    I wish you’d look after the language as well as you look after your toys.

    Moggy

    Well the other term for it is “Bubba’d. Close enough to “bug.ered”

    Anywho, a sporter 303 was good enough for Mick Dundee..

    Today I’m attempting to remove the new finish from the 1918 MkIII* & using BLO to get it all the wood the same color. Right now each piece is different.. & not one of the pieces looks anywhere near how it should..

    Operation Black Buck

    A heartwarming tale of a young boy who steals an Avro Spitfire bomber, flies it to the Falklands, and wipes out the terrorist cell of Argentinians who have captured his father, a plucky army corporal played by Clint Eastwood.

    Also starring Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher, Bruce Willis as Sandy Woodward and Jack Nicholson as Sharky Ward.

    & Andrew Sachs in the character of Manuel as Gen Galtieri

    Unconnected question. I always wonder why anybody would leave the function that places an annoying little time / date stamp on their photographs switched on?

    Moggy

    Because I don’t know how to turn it off…:confused:

    Edit: well that didn’t take long to figure out….

    Granted they are Historic weapons but no ties to Historic aviation hence the move

    Stop farting about & just use a carbide tipped blade in a circular saw. Won’t take but a moment & will slice thru it with ease. Done it loads of times.

    The funding viability might be poor in the UK, but it will be much poorer in the USA, the ONLY merit in sending it to the USA is dry storage at Pima, in some “forelorn” hope it might fly again sometime in the future, however thats not a realistic hope to justify its relocation. – Despite the apparant “ease” of getting a C-5 to shift the tonnes of spares, – where is the maintenance base, where is the team of trained and experienced engineers – where is the army of willing volunteers – wheres the US company sponsorship proposition? – Wheres the airshow demand?

    I couldn’t even begin to count the number of Americans who on hearing my accent & discover I work on aircraft say “I was at ***** airshow when some of your blokes showed up in a Vulcan going like a bat outta hell & scared the crap out of everyone”
    I can’t post the quotes from the USAF types who had their bases “visited” because of the censorship of most of the words they use to discribe the visits..:cool::D:D:D:D
    Then they ask if any are still flying etc.

    Some RAF guys made quite an impression over here with their Vulcans….apparently at 20ft agl:diablo: & sneeking up behind/below B52 crews seems to have been popular..:cool:
