  1. Thanks again, that looks interesting and works on the ipad
  2. @Creepy Pete thanks for that, definitely the pattern it flew round here. What app are you using? Don
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. Antonov 12b of Motor Sich Airlines heading to Doncaster, according to Flightradar, just now in the dark, but an unusual engine noise
  9. Travelling doesn't help the situation, it's good that you have the Lynx to distract you. Take care. Don
  10. Amazing dexterity to fold those up, I guess your eyes need a good rest now. I always thought that the multiple Pom-Poms were the wonder weapons that helped the RN win in the Med as I stuck them on the various Airfix ships back in the sixties, was that just good PR?
  11. They look like something to hook the seats up on, rather than belt anchorages, is that not a seat hanging from the raised set next to the window? Don
  12. Very nice painting going on here. Going back to the Chivenor pics, I can't see any comments, but are the ailerons painted white in the flying example, then the whole wing overpainted (as well as the rounded) in the first picture of the taxying one? Don
  13. I only found out about my uncle's (Stoker, RN) run in with the First Lieutenant (RNVR) of the Porpoise over setting the submarine's ballast for fresh water as they moored at Dundee, when he was in his nineties. We had taken them to the Discovery in Dundee, so it must have set off some memories and I overheard him telling my mother 'I told the First Lieutenat where to stick his medal' and it all came out. Apparently the Captain backed George, so the 1st Lieut was at daggers drawn for the rest of their time together. When Porpoise sailed off to the Far East on its last voyage, he got taken by the Captain to his new P boat, is that a pierhead jump? so had survivor's guilt over all his mates who were lost. He said he regretted not taking the medal home for his father. These things were never discussed in front of small boys. Don
  14. Errr, it's dark now.... do you have a signalling lamp?
  15. Good start, I never tried a Belvedere back in the 60s, I think the Whirlwind put me off rotorcraft I'll watch with interest. Don
  16. Ah, General, did you get any idea of the colour matches for the shepherds brown dust coat and binder twine tied round it, when in the area?
  17. Ouch! Superglue or A&E and miss the rugby? Don
  18. https://www.nationalsheep.org.uk/know-your-sheep/sheep-breeds/ plenty of marking options.... Don
  19. Nice build with that unusual finish. I think I went aboard her at a Rosyth Navy Day, when she was quite new, sometime last century! Don
  20. Looks like from post 229 that he had plenty of time off - pyjamas too! But did no one say smoking in bed was dangerous? 😀 Don
  21. Nice quick build. I may have missed this in other builds before, but the nose cannons seem to have been covered and then doped with a dark colour, is this red dope? Don
