25 quid 😬

So currently in the final stages of this Hellcat build which has gone remarkably well considering the kits aged provenance. Decals not so good ...should have used decal varnish (no idea what the correct name is)first ...so I lost a mainplane roundel ....round two with the decal varnish worked...although the decals are still bedding down with the red micro sol....we shall see. Anyway because im a piso git,I dont really want to stump up 12 quid for basically one decal. So an appeal to anyone who might have a spare FAA SEAC roundel or maybe a pair because you can guarantee they will be different ...anyone please ?

Hmm I read this and think things havent changed....just the uniform ,at YEOVILTON in the 80s and 90s it was matelots (and the occasional Bootneck Mike) who were either press ganged in to it or volunteers waiting to leave the mob......supplemented by a couple of entertaining old gits in some knock off prison officer uniform. Whilst I protested much imagine turning to in the morning and seeing the security sherpa van stuck in the nets at the top of the Ski Ramp (for harriers) coz nights had been playing chicken 🤣🤣🤣🤣....what was BZNs excuse 😆😆😆 Meanwhile I heard the protesters have done a good job of spraying a complete squadron of Hawk T mk1s completely red....🤣🤣

I had to think about that for a moment 😁

Personally I prefer Avcat

Im fortunate enough to live below a waypoint for aircraft approximately on the Somerset Wiltshire boarder and occassionally you get the unusal ...today is now exception...just had a Big aircraft with a boom hanging out the back ....hmm must be KC135 and indeed it is from Mildenhall doing big circuits around my gaff and VL....according to an on line flight scanner ...shame the weather is claggy.

Not my house but Mont St Michel....Jump 55 C130 J USAFE...stuttgart to Dinan just flying up.and down...must be boring for the sloppy links. D day Colours

Agree VL has been kinda quiet since SHAR days ....still where I live now about 20 miles up the A303 is a kinda crossing point of airways so I get alsorts from biplanes to A400M and obs Navy Rotary. Be good to see jags and the like again but time and tide waits for no man

I must concur....its good to have visitor from afar. Meanwhile Troffa long time no hear although ive not been around much myself....hows the world of airborne rotary....as opposed to my very much tethered rotary that im kinda enjoying

What has Canada got to do with 🇬🇱 Greenland ....dont know where you are from shipmate but sounds almost like a Republican party idea ....or 19th century land grab....just for balance

Yeah pet peeve of mine ejector seat😬 Only had experience of the Mk10

I think you understimate the stresses on a airframe and engine operating in a salt water environment plus perhaps the USAF have more aircraft to share the training burden.

Ok but 810 is just a side number not squadron ..810 was training and RFA flights (810 C flt) .Bit like 772 had side numbers 720 -725....and 899 was 700 series
