stevehnz Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Although I've seen the RFI for this I hadn't caught up with the last bit of this WiP, so glad I did, your description of the aerials build is such that even I can follow it. Thanks. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longshanks Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I must say your fleet looked even better in the flesh Stuart Kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robgizlu Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Stuart - Great to meet you and put a name to the face! Your Whaleback was even better up close and in the flesh. Loved the sea-planes too. Here's the pic showing the scramble net fittings - I think he's nailed it IMG_2170 by Rob Matthews, on Flickr Rob 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Cheers guys. Nice to meet @longshanks and @robgizlu albeit briefly. Kev, I'd hardly call two a fleet, but thanks anyway. Yes Rob, I found the above launch and now understand what you were saying about net fixings, filed for the future but I don't think BPB MTB's, MGB's or MASB's had them (hint to future builds) Stuart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
