Oh, it's all about this song by Belinda Carlisle my sheila was playing out loud on mi Hi-Fi last weekend (without my permission; it's only the thundering Heavy Metal music allowed to play on it. For the other music it's the portable radio CD-player stereo in either the kitchen or the laundry room). Song line was like: Ooh, my luv it's you that I dream of Ooh, my luv since that day Somewhere in my heart I'm always Dancing with you in the submarine...??? That line turned out to be the summer rain... Song was kinda mellowy and catchy. Me don't likey... Be that as it may, she was STILL not allowed to keep on listening that kind of music in my Hi-Fi. Yeh, she wasn't... Cheers, Unc2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was an even more surreal experience that the idea of dancing in a submarine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought who would have ever thought of those lyrics! There is not much room left to dance in a submarine!! That Belinda Carlisle tho; quite a beauty she is, huh? So, with regard to the Kinetic kit; is the Xtradecal X48212 meant for the Airfix kit then? Yeh, is it...? Cheers, Unc2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One 48 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 So, this boxing will have the option to do a RAF GR1 or a GR3 ... right? Would like to do one of each, so will need two, no problem, just need to make sure and I'll go ahead and order up those Xtradecal sheets from Hannants, want to build an RAF Wildenrath GR1 as I used to live in Germany when my Dad was based at Wildenrath, even sat in FLt Lt Goodall's GR1 (this guy went on to be a very high ranker in the RAF) there at an air show in early 70's when I was about 14 Love the look of the snow Harriers too and would a GR3 this way. Really looking fwd to this release. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really looking fwd to this release. You are indeed correct about Flt Lt Goodall. Known as 'Rocky' (even when he attained senior rank) I worked for him in the mid-1990s and in spite of his seniority, he maintained a good sense of humour. He even featured in a memorable 'Christmas Special' where is name was changed to Goody Rockall in an effort to protect the innocent !. I also totally agree with you on the 'Snow Harriers' and having spent a considerable amount of time in Norway, one of these will feature on my project list for early generation Harriers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tiger331, hope this works, here is the pic of me sitting in Flt Lt Rocky Goodall's Harrier GR1 as a kid of about 14 at an RAF Wildenrath Germany sort of family day thing, early to mid 70's. Dad was in the RAF then too and served at Wildenrath, though we lived off camp at Geilenkirchen, so a bit of travel for him and me and sisters to the BFPO school Kent at Hostert, lived there three years, fun times. Unfortunately my original pic got ruined over the years somehow, only found it again after Dad passed away, last year a lady friend tried to restore as best she could on Photoshop she is still learning, not a bad recovery, very happy with it. Goes without saying have a passion for all things Harrier here, will be buying at least two of these kits... fantastic news. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
