  1. Marten, chasing a cat ( they look very pretty but they’re vicious )
  2. themselves. Only the lonely ( cue for a song? )
  3. There is a two seat Hurricane flying and it’s not as easily distinguishable from the single seater as a Spitfire two seater is, perhaps it’s that. Talking to one of our French friends yesterday who tells me that the Armée de L’Air is training Ukrainian pilots which could account for the recent increase in PC-21s around here. EDIT: just read the post from @Paul821, if you lived there in May 2019, one of the Spitfires would have been carrying me!
  4. family, mum dad and ( nucular is one of my pet hates. The current fashion seems to be dropping the G from the end of ‘ ing ‘ words. )
  5. ‘Ello ‘ello ‘ello, what’s
  6. Another two PC-21s in trail heading south just below the cloud base ( about 800ft agl ), which ‘spotter dog’barked at!
  7. Definitely taking on the shape, have you tried gliding it yet? 😁 John
  8. Turbo charged mobility chariots ( supermarket trollies are called chariots here in LBF )
  9. Excellent work on the airbrake interior, and the nose looks good to me. The early Harriers had blade antennas just behind the cockpit with an aircraft silhouette on them, presumably the manufacturer’s logo.Many years ago when I travelled to work at Heathrow on the A30, before the M3/M25 connection was open I frequently saw a Landrover with two of them on the roof!

  10. Yesterday and this morning I heard what sounded like a PC-21 doing aerobatics close by, and at 1400 one passed overhead heading north. I noticed that our 13 month Golden Retriever was also watching its progress, he’s turning into a spotter. Not the first of ours to do so over 40 years, SWMBO blames me.
  11. Beautiful John. I hope it’s take off with the undercarriage only half way up/down that close to the ground! 😁 John
  12. watching television standing up
  13. Good use of the silver pencil, it’s great for the corners of removable panels I find.. I have been using a hairdryer to speed up the drying time of paint/varnish for several years now and for getting it quickly past the tacky stage to avoid dust and dog hairs sticking to the surfaces. John
