PLC1966

Aircraft in special colour scheme, Revell are on the case as we speak.

Thats the chap. Like Paul Di'anno with Iron Maiden, went awry at the wrong time.

Seem to remember the lead singer, Justin somebody?, was rather too keen to sustain and increase Columbian export figures single handed

The Ipswich Gaumont, saw a lot of bands there in the early 80's... Lizzy, Iron Maiden, Samson, Motorhead, Hawkwind, Diamond Head, Slade, Girlschool, Micheal Schenker Band, Ian Gillan Band, sure there was a fair few others...

Ooops, one I forgot about was I saw Tom Jones in Ballys in Vegas when on Red Flag back end Nov88. First half of the concert was with an orchestra, second half was with a Rock ensemble, and then the encore was with both lots of musicians. The audience were sat around tables ordering drinks and food. He introduced Fleetwood Mac to the audience, they were sat on a table two down three to the right of us. There were eight or ten of us Brits jamming down cocktails at a rate of knots. All very surreal, but to be fair to the fella he could sing, it was a great concert.

Not been to a gig for years, but best was Pink Floyd in the Koln (Cologne) Football stadium must have been 1988. First half they played the Delicate sound of reason album and second half the classics. First half of the concert you could not really make out the lighting or Lasers as it was not yet dusk. The band had the break and then came out just as the dusk and darkness was inbound and wow, what a show. It had been a warm day and that heat carried on into the night. As an event it was fantastic Worst was some Mick Hucknall impersonator down the The Crown in Odiham, would only sing Simply Red songs whatever was requested. All went wrong when the CD player broke and he kept on Lip Synching.

Sticking things is fine, painting the yellow, or in this case red and white prop bits, nah!!!! Big win for the U's today mate. Off to Notts County next week as it is only a few miles away.

Painting all those propellers, you've got far more patience than I McDuff. I hate doing them at the best of time. Other than that great work.

Good work. Well done.

Nice. Was always one of my favourite Matchbox kits. Did a few of these.

Thats just showing off........LOL......

Thats crazy talk, B-58 looks fast just parked up.

If you are opening the gates I would go for a Caravelle, but for aircraft that do Military things, Hunter by a mile, maybe a Draken, then a Spit MkVIII, maybe a Starfighter slips in there, Tigercat as above.....Gnat is lovely little thing......

Hawker Hunter, easy peasy. Oddly enough two were on FR24 round Lincoln yesterday.

I made a profit when I sold it LOL. I paid 3000DM, sold it for 3200DM and it needed a new exhaust at that point so I did alright.

You should have seen me in my Nissan Sunny!!

Got a farm in Hampshire or Surrey I think, so not short of a few bob.

Thats a lovely bit of work, some really nice weathering going on there. You know what, this is screaming out for a simple resin water/sand beach diorama.

In my experience it is the Military changing what they need every two or three years when the Officer in charge of identifying the requirement is posted out and the new incumbent in post wants to make a name for themselves.

That is lovely. Well done.

Quality document. As noted before, these were held on Microfische for years. In the Section DMC 22 & 23, Ground and Flying Clothing, lists of prices so people could be billed for losing kit. Up in the Oil, Paints, Fuels & Lubes, a good few products there that would be banned nowadays due to their contents, Trike is one I noted. Sure I read of a Safety Equipper taking the MoD to court because of Health complications.

Cough.....26WX was the Domestic Management Code.........1680 was the section......99 was the Nation Code...........1234567 (from 3 to 7 figures) was the reference number..... .......much as we always called them the Section Ref. Thirty years a stacker, there must be a film in it.

Also job as LAC scrote in the Section.

That will be for the resin boys rather than Airfix I reckon. This kit looks quality.
