Robert Stuart Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) You are very welcome Martin, have you voted for this GB in the poll? By my guess, we need another four votes to get this GB to onto next year's calendar (assuming none of the leaders gets another vote). {edit}We might, just, squeeze in, but it's right on the edge{/edit} Edited November 10, 2016 by Robert Stuart Found out we have 9 GB's, not 6 as I presumed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I don't want to tempt fate but we might get this GB included this time Too early to start planning what we are going to build ? cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 :-( Too bad. Wanted to build my Classic Airframes Gannet. René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Shame this didn't get in, I actually voted for it as I had some mad delusion of doing an airfix nimrod.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Well, both of the above could be built in the Best of Britsh GB. I was so looking forward to getting another P-3 and perhaps a Nimrod done for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Stuart Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Bump - this GB has been very quiet for a while now. The build is eligable for the 2018 poll, We need two co-hosts. I think I'm one, who's the other? I am happy to step back if two people are keen to take up the role ... Appologies in advance if I don't respond quickly to messages, I expect to be without an internet connection for the next couple of weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 With one GB under the belt as a Co-Host and being a B737 STGB Co-Host next year, I am up to be a Co-Host for this one if it gets across the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Just enjoying watching this at the moment, rather appropriate for this GB https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RW1dmmJhIjA Looks like some of it was filmed on Islay, there is a great part of the film, where a Sunderland flies over Bowmore recognisable by the famous round church. Enjoy cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antoine Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I'm sure the question's been asked somewhere in the ten plus previous pages, but: - Is a land-based (well, shore-based!) torpedo/bomber/recce plane eligible? I would say yes. - And what about an ASM helo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Hello @Antoine That Fokker T-VIII and Ju188 should be fine. The Seahawk - I can't see why not, but I know little of it's operational role, so will await guidance on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Hi Robert, While they come from my stash, I took them only as exemples. The T.VIII mission was recce/patrol, and attack if needed, so that's ok. But this 188 mission was attack, that is, you don't recce/patrol with two heavy torpedo under the belly. Then I don't know. Same with the SH-60, they usually belong to HSL that are responsible with the carrier security, mostly against subs, and so they're hunting/patroling. But with the Penguin...

JWM Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Coronado and Mariner by Mach 2 could be my choice... Also CC Liberator(s?). Cheers J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Think I joked a few pages back about doing a nimrod, well if this GB makes it through the voting I will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Stuart Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 The voting is getting very close for this GB, we are equal ninth as I write, so need more votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I have a stalled Contrail Blackburn Perth in the current Flying boat / floatplane GB, this would be an ideal chance to finish it. I also have the Monogram Liberator in 1/48 are there Coastal Command Decals available for it ? cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper_city Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Hopefully the Special Hobby Sunderland Mk.5 is released in time for this GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
