  1. โ€™699 - notice it has exactly the same side codes as XV666 in the kit! That happens all the time squadrons are allocated a batch off numbers or letters so Victor call signs for 846 eg VH VH VJ ..... 845 Yankee call signs but for some reason porky pie ditched the prefix ...normally so...A B C etc. 772 was 20 - 24 and gennerally kept those I guess because in the early SK 772 day they were quite a different cab to Yeovilton cabs ..except 25 ...that changed ...it was an additional aircraft... 820 .....in the teens eg 19....but as there were so many pingers they used to swop a lot must have been 7 or 8 squadrons plus few extra ...
  2. That is indeed excellent...still if you did the QE or PoW it would be easier ...not much in the way of aircraft sadly
  3. Think will go with foreign cabs at a later date otherwise an all crab kit 3/3A you know yellow ,yellow and er yellow...suppose there is Falklands grey. Which I think looks quite fetching....wash my mouth out
  4. Blimey you are right there are some people on here who need a plumber the amount of dripping they are doing ..yawn As for rivets well yes it was covered in various types of rivets ....come on grubbers I'll start you ๐Ÿ’ max.... Honestly it isnt the forth road bridge and until one sees it in the flesh one can reserve judgement.
  5. Mike its obvious whats wrong its a pinger๐Ÿคฎ But as I have said on a number of youtube channels you can always make a Mk6 CR...nice and green. TBH I can see me making a pinger of the SCOTTISH ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ Squadron ..which sadly eluded me in my naval career
  6. Excellent....out of interest apart from twice the number of engine instruments ...RPM temp and boost oil px etc etc is there much difference between that and the Lancaster
  7. Secondary protective finish you mean....PX32 as Selwyn said ....ah the fun of removing it
  8. That's excellent stuff BZ to you...I'm jealous I'd like to go but I've pre booked myself on a 24 hrs caving trip ..Daren Cilau if anyone knows it......close thing but can't let people down....have fun people.
  9. Jeg elsker det.....I think that correct from the Bardufoss clockwork navy book of chating up Noggy girls vol 1. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† BZ to you
  10. Youve just reminded me thinking about it we had a couple of Chinooks on board the O boat (Ocean) so myself and one other decided to creep out on deck at night with some degreaser ( professionals) and pre cut dayglo fly navy letters to stick on the bottom of the cab .We didnt go as far as edge sealing but the effect was quite impressive as they launched to quite a big crowd the next morning.Still they got home earlier then we did ...longer endurance than a sea ๐Ÿ‘‘ ๐Ÿ˜†
  11. Its got an capital I as a number plate so...๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น
  12. Looks like normal to me .....these delays go on in the UK ...for many many different reasons ...aircraft are very complex to say aircraft of the 50s .
  13. Well dunno about all that but....two CVS (carrier) alongside in Gibraltar...sailor worse for wear...bluffs the QM at the gangway...picks up "a station card" shuffles off to his mess and his pit.Meanwhile ship sails ....sailor wakes up and can't quite put his finger what is wrong ....right mess right pit ....wrong ship ...true story ๐Ÿ˜
  14. Thats hoofin work BZ to you. Obviously being a junglie I blinking hate Pumas but they are pleasing on the eye
  15. ZA137 delivered to Heliops
  16. I did in RAF colours it was truely horrible dnd went TU in Oman on the way back from ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ซ luckily good old VC10 saved the day
  17. Hope the poor gits on duty looking after you get their ELWE back ...good phots though cant say ive been in a Voyager but gotta beat those nasty tristars they used to have ๐Ÿ˜‚
  18. Nice to sea an ex 771 Mk5 on a QM today on the A37...presume it was on its way to the Heliops base at Portland. Looked in great condition both the MRH and TRH were fitted. Didn't ger the serial number...ZA summit I think with a side number of 20.
  19. Heather wonder if you can help me out does the valom hampden come with two types of prop?Only I have the old airfix item but need some new props...I have yet to find any suitable after market...yet.
