ArnoldAmbrose Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Gidday @ManixZero, you have to go through a photo hosting site. I use Flikr that is quite easy to use (I'm a technological neanderthal, on a good day), and it gives me 1000 free photos. I believe others such as Imgur do the same. HTH. Nice helmet, BTW.

busnproplinerfan Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Seems like a fun thread. Here's me when I get to wear something nice other than work clothes. This was taken a week ago at Fortress of Louisbourg in Nova Scotia while on vacation. Go by Vanessa when done up. crushing_vanessa3 on yt. Now called @crushingvanessa3277 on yt, they changed it for some reason. Careful, I might just walk on you or crush something and make you watch. I take my feet seriously and I'm not afraid to use them. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a member of the ATF (Airfix Tribute Forum) as well as here and I found I had to use Flikr in a slightly different manner here because, as you said, I only got text initially. But it seems you've worked it out. Oh, and I feel privileged to have been shown the helmet. 🙂 Regards, Jeff. 1 hour ago, busnproplinerfan said: Seems like a fun thread.

I actually wear work clothes nearly all the time, although I'm now retired. I've got good going-out sets and some for more casual, as in the photo. This is because they're made from 100% cotton and as a volunteer bushfire fighter I can be called out at any time. I even wore my best set (with a tie of course) to a funeral. Regards, Jeff.

There are many around, some free, some you have to pay for. Have a look in FAQ's and Help and Support and you'll find a couple of threads covering this topic. Just ignore the one that I posted regarding Village Photos, as they no longer have a security certificate John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi jackroadkill, these are some very friendly in calf heifers , due to enter the herd in September, we milk 330 cows at the moment, but as we rear all our own cattle there are 735 from newborn calves to adults on the farm. It keeps me busy!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a lot like the ones I used to fly in back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. It's an ASK21. They've been in production since the 1970s, with the original ASK21 only being replaced by the slightly improved ASK21B a few years ago. The Grob 103 family of gliders all look very similar to this as well, particularly the G103A Twin II, which I also fly. The Air Cadets have the Twin II Acro, the exact same variant as NU2 here, under the name Viking T.1. Best way to tell them apart if you can't distinguish between the shape at a glance would be the Grobs have side opening canopies, but the K21 has front and rear opening canopies. The other good way to tell them apart is the amount of swearing coming from the people who have to rig them. The Twin II is a pain to put the wings on, and I've had to do it twice this week 😭 Edited September 28, 2022 by Adam Poultney 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapteenipirk Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Well, since it seems im here to stay, might as-well put my actual mugshot out there. I know, must be a little weird seeing someone so young here. The thumbnail is indeed me slightly more animefied. Wanted to create myself a WWII USN captain/adrimal style uniform using some flea-market finds, 3D-printed bits and some such, but thought that would be a little boring, so i added a few extra bits to make it my own. There are elements taken and inspired by and also nods to Azur lane, KanColle, and High school fleet. As-well as some of my own bits as-well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took about 7 flights over three years, highest I ever got was about 9000’ feet as we had no oxygen. My goal was to get my glider license back then. The hours needed were minimal compared to a PP license. Sadly it just kept getting pushed back on my list. Not that I haven't flown, Ive taken the controls of many aircraft when flying with friends. I have about 40 hours built up with about a 50/50 mix instrument and day flying. Various types ranging from Pipers and Cessna's to Bell and Hughes helicopter's. The most exotic type was a Learjet. Well thanks for letting an older dreamer reminisce and talk for a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogload Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I notice that it's OK to post piccies with guitars and stuff, so here's me in July '22, pulling faces in a psychedelic mist with a Fender Jazzmaster. I think it captures my essence 😜 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
