Picked up a couple of the Revell/Bandai Star Wars kits today from Trago MIlls in Cornwall. 1/72 A-Wing for £20.99, and the Tie-Interceptor £44. Quite a bit reduced on the prices from Hannants!

Get the same emails... For us, our netflix is included in our Sky bill, so we don't have separate Netflix billing! Also get the delivery emails, the anti virus emails, the cloud emails etc. all go straight in the spam folder and get deleted when I check my emails each morning!

If you are using a mobile device, rather than a deskop/laptop device to view the forum, that will be the predictive text function. Cannot tell you how to switch it off, as that will be down to the version of whatever software your device is using. Android is up to Version 16, with minor revision, totalling 24 all told! Apples iOS has had 18 major versions, with (for some inexplicable reason) with version 26 (they've decide to miss out the 7 intermediate version 19-25!!!) currently in beta testing, and due to be released later this year. There are just too many possible variations on a theme to tell you exactly how to turn off predictive text on whatever phone you have! All I can suggest is to look it up, and follow some online tutorial as to how to do it.

If I remember my Rules Of Engagement , you could only open fire if there was an imminent danger to life (without issuing a verbal warning) or issuing a verbal warning (live armed guard - stand still) 3 times, and then there was no response and you had a reasonable belief that was a danger to you or your guard partner, and you had to aim for the largest part of the body (ie the torso!) But... It is some 30 years or so since I had to deal with that and read the LAG rules. There were different versions for different areas of the RAF - one for UK/Peace time, one for RAF Germany, and one for active/conflict areas. So the ROEs were different depending on the geographical area/situation. As I was UK only for my short period of service, I only ever had to deal with the UK/peacetime version.

Been announced that the organisation behind the Brize Norton "protest" is to be proscribed - thus banning it and membership of it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn81g4e0nlyo

All I did was type the word night in the search box, and Selwyn's thread was literally the fifth choice down after this one..... Whilst it may not be the best, it works and didn't take much effort to find and may have saved some repetition of effort. And that was from a mobile device rather than a desktop PC or other computing device. Another way to have searched would have been Google : RAF night paint site:britmodeller.com And even doing that brought up Selwyn's thread at the top of the list using my phone. Not harsh to point out an existing thread.

Don't suppose you bothered to actually search did you.... There was exactly the same discussion just a couple of months ago...... https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235153446-raf-night-paint/#comment-5207467

That will be more down to how your spam filters are set up either locally or by your internet provider, rather than Outlook per se. All you need to do once it appears in your Spam folder is to right click on the email. Once you've done that there should be various options along the lines of allow sender, block sender etc. You will need to click on the one that will allow sender and/or add sender to your contacts. This will stop these emails from ending up in your spam folder.

Somehow you must have missed the big red letters in the headlines to this part of the forum - Once you've looked at the FAQ forum, post here if you still need help. NOT for modelling related issues! You need to be asking here : https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/forum/283-armour-discussion-by-era/

Few years ago, we had a VW Passat estate. One of the rear brake light units failed. Car was only a couple of years old. Could not get any replacement bulbs... The whole unit needed replacing.. why? Every bulb was LED... £100 to replace and could only get from an OEM specialist and not VW direct.

God I remember those. Was at lossie late 91 to early 93, and I remember the entire station going on lockdown for special weapons transfers. didnt happen often, but they were a pain in the backside when they did!

It is easy to get to 100 posts, but comments in the chat area do not contribute to your total number of posts. It's engagement in the other areas, eg Aircraft, Armour, Maritime etc. but as mentioned, spamming comments like "looks good", "nice build", etc, isn't really engaging and would be frowned upon just to get to that 100 post goal post!

There's one local (ish) to us that's only been open about 12 months closing!

Which is partly the reason for updating our phones. Old phones were running android 11, and due to the age, no longer receiving security updates, which made them rather vulnerable. Wife needed some specific software on her phone that would not run on anything lower than android 13. So update was needed. New phones have updated to Android 15, will receive 16 when launched, and receive security updates for 4 years instead of the 18 months they used to provide.

Again nothing modelling related, but as our mobile phones are now over 4 years old, we have been looking at getting them updated. Popped into our local Currys the other day, for something completely unrelated, and SWMBO decided to have a gander at the phones on display. A couple of the Motorola types caught our eye and we decided on two G55 5g - one in a green case, and one in a black case. Both of them with 256gb storage, and 8GB RAM! So spec wise quite good, and quite good reviews overall. Sadly were not in stock in the store, so had to be ordered for collection. One thing we were not told, and we really should have been... No damn charger in the box! These phones require a 30w charger to get the best charging rate, but due to either penny pinching or whatever, no damn charger comes with them in the box! Thankfully we had a charger from our previous phone, but they were only 15w chargers. We've had to for out an extra £30+ for the chargers! Not impressed about this at all, and will give appropriate feedback when the time comes!
