This information will not be released. We have just had our AGM and whilst the financial side of the club/show forms part of the AGM the information is considered to be commercially sensitive and not for public release.

Without knowing the sites usage of Cloud flare in this instance, I can't really speak for the site admins, but Cloudflare is used on other sites to try and help with and prevent those nasty DDOS attacks that we've had in the past on the site. If it detects unusual activity, it can reshape the network traffic to divert the nasties. It's possible you got caught up in that by mistake.

The decision to not have a competition was only for this year, and only due to being a new venue and finding our feet in the place. Our intention all along was to get in, get going, see how things went for the first show and not over complicate the set up of the first show with a competition. We always intended to have a competition in the following shows (if the club members vote to continue with the show at the upcoming AGM).

Just be glad it wasn't at the stadium like the last mk show. Not my place to discuss, but the stadium wanted over £15,000 to hire the venue we had in 2022. Imagine the cost of entry if we had gone with that option. Add into that the cost of hiring the tables has increased quite considerably, we would have been looking north of £20+k! Yes compromises had to be made, and yes lessons will be taken on board for the next show. First show in a new venue, there will be teething issues as in any new venture - you will not get it perfect 1st time.

@TeeELL He was my Uncle! It was rather strange wandering round the station, after I had been posted in, having to salute him! Even stranger was the fact that rather than me saluting and acknowledging him as 'Sir' I would just exchange pleasantries as 'Uncle John' .... I did get a few odd stares from other airmen as I did that! (And that was at his insistence😆 but still saluting as required!)

@TeeELL did you happen to know Flt Lt (later Sqn Ldr)John Nuttall at all? He was a nav at Conningsby around that time, and was still there in the early 90's when I was posted into Conningsby. He was originally on Phantoms but later on the F.3 ADV Tornado.

Most stores have signs up saying that underwear, socks, and other items of that nature cannot be returned!!!! So very surprised to read this.. in fact just did a quick check and most state that if an item has been opened, and the seal broken, it cannot be returned for sanitary/ hygiene reasons. And that goes for both male and female items of underwear!

Lucky bugger.... Went on Friday (03/05/24) and it was tipping it down all day. Sadly the tickets had been booked a couple of weeks before, so could not change the date of our visit. Still enjoyed the visit though as had not been for 3 or 4 years.

There is a specific airbrush sub forum where you can ask this question... https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/forum/14-airbrushes/ This area is for questions and problems about the forum only! See the red text as you click into the forum! Once you've looked at the FAQ forum, post here if you still need help. NOT for modelling related issues. (I've asked the mods to move the thread to the correct area for you)

Sorry @Mike Star Trek: The Next Generation ran from 1987 to 1994 for 7 series. However, UK dates may be different. But I do remember watching it before I entered the RAF in Feb of 1991, and it had been on for at least a couple of years by then. I remember being disappointed that I would be missing the show whilst doing my recruit training!!!!😆

Ah, that's why I didn't find them I looked in the main range, ignoring the WWII range as it was cold war stuff I was looking at as opposed to anything earlier!!!!

Sorry, have never used MRP so have no idea of the equivalent paints I'm afraid. I use Hobby colour converter to check paints (free version on android) and a quick look on that does not show any equivalent dark green bsc paint in their acrylic paint range (may just not be named correctly!) My suggestion is just to do a Google (or other internet search engine) search and see what comes up.

For British aircraft, the colours used would be to BS381 colours, rather than using American FS colour system. The green would be BS381C:241 Dark Green; The upper grey would be BS381c:637 Medium Sea Grey; The lower grey would be BSC381C:627 Light Aircraft Grey; I believe the Xtracolour enamels are quite close in colour to the correct standard.

Not fallen for a single one, and have not for a very, very long time! Possibly too cynical or my extremely logical brain knows full well what day it is, and automatically assess any story that seems fantastical and immediately labels it as an April Fools joke!!! Back in sept our local authority changed from waste bags to wheelie bins, 4 of them in fact.... Huge outcry as a lot of home don't have room for the, and those that don't can still use appropriately coloured bags. Story appears today saying after lots of analysis, they will be switching back to bags. It got tagged on our local FB community.. So obviously an April Fools prank by local website/journalist, but several of the locals have tagged the parish councillors and ward councillors to ask what's going on and for more information!!!!! Quite a few being very obviously taken in hook, line and sinker!

Data CANNOT be transferred without permission, if you have an opt out your data CANNOT be used for any purpose. They may claim what's called a legitimate interest clause, however, it should not have been transferred in the first place without permission. All I would suggest is to contact the new company and re-affirm your data opt-out again. Affirming that any further emails would constitute a breach of the Data Protection regulations (2018) which have replaced the GDPR in the UK (as far as I am aware) Personally, it's this legitimate interest clause that gets me annoyed. If you, for example, purchased something from a website, ticked the no marketing box, that's fine - but then they dress up a newsletter as being a legitimate interest which is in reality just full of marketing rubbish. Or they decide that a survey about your purchase, 4 or 5 times over the next 2 months is also ok! (yep, had both of them - and despite having ticked all the "do not use my data for anything" boxes, still got loads of rubbish through until I suggested that if they continued, I would be contacting the ICO - they quickly stopped!)

With you on that one - along with horseradish sauce, mayonnaise, and a few other sauces in that ilk! (I have simple pleasures in life - and prefer unadulterated food - unless it's a nice thick meaty gravy... I am a northerner after all! )

We had that happen to us, in a different situation. We had solar panels fitted back in 2015. In 20165, the government changed some of their policies in regards to the payment schemes that were available (which is why we had them fitted when we did - so that we beat the change to payments!) We then found out that the company we had fit the panels went into voluntary liquidation, as part of that process, their customer database was sold by the liquidators (data is a very commercial and valuable commodity!) Our phone number at that time was (and still is) ex-directory, we started to get a lot of cold-calls from companies claiming to be the new company responsible for the warranty for the panels, and also wanting to swap us to new energy providers. We were getting so many calls, in the end we had to change our number. We did not at any time give permission for our details to be given or sold to any third parties. We also reported the issue to the data commissioner when we found out our details had been sold/passed on without our permission.

It could also be down to the link being broken. Some photos are linked to hosting sites that either no longer exist, or the photos themselves no longer exist, or even, in one or two instances, the site where the photo is being hosted does not have a valid HTTPS security certificate and so the link will not display (that's an even rarer instance that the previous instances). It could also have another reason... The pictures have simply been removed by the original poster from the hosting site due to the age of the post, and limitations on the amount of space they have available. Sadly, there are multiple reasons why you are not able to view the pictures in some posts - and yes FF can also be an issue.

You notify the mods and ask them to close/delete your account. @Mike @Julien @Greg B

Unless the question is being asked by a rock ape..... Runs and hides very quickly 😆

I believe that the AS and the TS paints are a lacquer based spray paint, and so any cellulose based thinners can be used. @Casey or any of the other resident paint people may know better. And a link to your own question back in 2022 asking the same thing..... https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235115448-tamiya-as-spray-paints-compatability/#comment-4501068

I just did a quick Google search, and various came up. RAF blue grey seems to be the common colour, but also dark green seems to come up as well. There were several discussions on a number of other sites... LSP, ARC, and including one on here! A couple of pictures of unrestored versions in museums also came up and they were.... RAF Blue grey, and dark green! So take your pick👍

It does say in the Airfix workbench blog, that these are test shots, so I would guess that the plastic used isn't necessarily the same as it would be if it was a retail package. It certainly doesn't look dark enough to be the new stuff we are becoming used to in the more recent Airfix releases.

Digging a little, only 6 were ever repainted in the UK, and that was because they had a major service, which is when repaints happen. So there will be considerable differences in the paints. Not too sure about the others, but ZE360 was one of the ones repainted, according to the posts. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235128354-raf-f4j-uk-info/
