MD 900 Air Ambulance (G-CIOS) flew low over us sounding rough, and then landed a couple of streets away in a school playing field. It's taken off now after about an hour, so presumably not evacuating anyone. Didn't get a pic as it was chucking it down.

Nice work, definitely need good tweezers.... And thanks folks, I now have 'Double your money and take it away' as an ear Worm! Hughie Green was RAF, so there is a vague link I suppose

Am I the only one who thought there was a resemblance to Biffo the Bear? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biffo_the_Bear#/media/File%3ABiffo_and_Buster.jpg

You do realise kilts were discarded in the charge.....

@Ex-FAAWAFU I think you will find the Welsh had a couple of kingdoms in what is now central Scotland, after the Romans left, clearly the General's roots go deep into the dark ages.....

I've never heard of this giant before, although I was aware of the French ones. I'm sure you will rise to the strut challenge with the aid of brass rod and tube with a jig to align them

Ced Hope you feel better, but get it checked, could be ulcers or other nasties! Don

Nice formation! And just to add, plenty Poles went to Scotland, Hieronym Kwiatkovski taught me Higher English back in the sixties. Don

Very nice finish, Frank, that's how I remember them in service. I managed to get my dad to drive us to Lochty to see her 'in captivity' after withdrawal. I'm glad it's been saved. Don

Just seen a bit of pre war Ark Royal flying off action in an old film, 'Neutral Port', with some dodgy model flying later.

An RAF C17 heading for EMA after some pootling, good word that!

Watching this great build, I recall from my 1920s Wonder Book of Aircraft that there are a few pictures of what may be the moth prototype? It's causing me to wonder whether the early Moths were delivered in a dark coloured fuselage with silver wings? I note your disappointment at not putting a loo in the Norseman, you won't be adding a bucket in these ones, but if you are up for a challenge, there is a pic in there of a young lady pilot loading a golf bag and clubs into the plane.... I can't find my copy, I suspect it's been tidied away to the loft, but as it has plenty civil aircraft illustrated, you may already have a copy. Don

Very nicely done, must finish mine when I decide wheels up or down. If I recall correctly, building this back in the early 60s the plastic was white. Don

A C17 about an hour ago, now flying circuits round EMA as far as I can work out from ADSB Exchange

Not over the house, but looking at https://tar1090.adsbexchange.com/ just now there is a bit of typhoon activity over Lincs and RAF transports bimblung about. Also a Hunter belting across South Yorkshire, PP-XHH.

Good start. After years of Airfix and Frog, I splashed out on the P51b and the Bearcat and was just amazed at the detail, real wheel detail, not buttons! Managed to pick these up again at a show, must have been original moulds, they are quite sharp still after 50 years. Need motivated to start them though.

Er, both pics seem to be the same...

Thanks again, that looks interesting and works on the ipad

@Creepy Pete thanks for that, definitely the pattern it flew round here. What app are you using? Don

A King Air, just now, grey below, white on top, no obvious markings, but a cheatline going up the tail like the RAF ones, did a couple of circuits then went westwards. Not showing on FR

Good spot. Can't help on the planes. I like those Don Coffey videos, I'm old enough to remember sitting up the front of DMUs and the Glasgow Blue Trains where you could see over the driver's shoulders, unless he was a grump and dropped the blinds! Don

According to FR there was a BA London - Edinburgh flight over this morning, one of the very few contrails seen, does that not count? Some very noisy military flying, couldn't see what it was though Don

Just had a fairly low flying A400 heading Lincolnwards. Funny noise made me go out and look and it didn't seem to be in the landing pattern for EMA, but following the Trent.

Hi, according to my copy of War Planes of the First World War, Fighters Vol 3, the Anzanis were radials, not rotaries, so there might be more choices available for you to use. Don

Do you need an excuse? Hope you are feeling better soon. Don
