Recommended Posts

Words fail me. Our heart felt wishes and condolences Alain. Scrolling through the new builds on BM is where I saw this thread. Sorry I didn’t see it earlier. Terrible news, I can offer support if you need it as with us all here on BM. Thoughts are with you and your beautiful family. Take care Dear heart.

I'm so sorry Alain. I went through the same thing last year. and I really feel for you. If you need to let off steam, feel free to contact me. One of the very few things I am good at is listening.

Sitting here trying to think of the right words, but anything I come up with seems so inadequate for a situation such as this. Please accept my heart felt love & sorrow Alain, hopefully sunnier days await.

My condolences CC on your Fathers passing. On this side of the pond our thoughts and Prayers are with you and your Family at this time.

And @Biggles87 , @The Spadgent

Well Gents...

This is it, I buried my father monday and my mother today....

I'm bit torn....

Now, it is up to me to finish emptying their house as fast as possible to avoid one more month of rent.

And then trying to have their accounts right.... 

They 've had almost nothing of any value but that will be one more though task for me....

I'll manage a bit of bench time in order to save a bit of sanity...

If I ever had this think named sanity...:evil_laugh:

I warmly thank you all for the nice words, it is deeply appreciated

Not only to me but Mrs CC and CC's kids...

I'll make a tiny threads about my father's adventures when he was a green beret !!

Deep thanks to you all.

Sincerely

Oh Alain. 😔 I cannot even imagine what you must be going through. Stay strong my friend.  

I will my friend, I will !!

I'm the only one of my brothers and sisters to be in peace with my parents.

To me, it's one of my greatest achievement...

Not an easy one given our family history, but I did it.

That make me stronger for fixing the remaining problems, cleaning the house and closing the door.

Both actually and litterally.

Tomorrow, I'll spare a bit of benchtime... 

Thank you from my soul.

I’ll just add my thoughts to the above for the loss of your Mum and Dad, Alain.  Good to have a hobby for some distraction at a time like that.

Now then….I’m sure I see light aircraft gray coloured pylons on that there Jag (although the camo looks wraparound) - that’d be the late 70’s then by my reckoning.  And I’ll ave you know that I’m waaay too young to have been in the RAF in the 70’s.  Well, a bit too young anyway :D

 

Google tells me XX744 was a 31 Squadron Jag - altho’ she’s not carrying any markings in that piccie.

 

Nice piccie (bit biased)

Thank you @Fritag

These are pics received from a friend working at Florennes AB.

It was taken from Recce Mirage (42nd Sqd)

It's ranging from the end of the '70 to the mid '80s...

One more proof ??

And there are peoples saying that the Bucc pilots are suffering from vertigo...

Hence they were flying so low....

It's a lie... See...

IMG_20210918_132548

And now, one for @giemme, even with black crosses Gina remain Gina !!

 

IMG_20210918_132524

Time for me to get the flap down and gently came back on the ground...

IMG_20210918_132513

See you later Gents !!

And again, I thank you all for the support, it's greatly received, especially in my crossing of this harsh time....

Sincerely.

Again, I don't know how I missed this in the first place, and then I'm deeply sorry to hear about your parents. My prayers are with you and them, my friend. It's a good thing you are able to preserve your spirit, and if us loonies can be of any help with that, we'll sure be glad.

 

And yes, the Gina is always the Gina, even in foreign markings :winkgrin:

 

Stay strong

 Thanks Mister G !!

One can barely understand how supportive all my fellow BM'ers have been for me !!

I cannot thank you both enough !!

But coming with more rocket fuel for SMW 2022 !!

My poor @Martian will have to wait one more year...:crying:And I have to wait too !!

But staying locked in an hotel room for 10 days before wandering UK museums and SMW for 5 days is just unbearable to me !!

Hello Dears,

Some pics of the Tempests

IMG_20210920_230951

Wheel wells are done for the GB Tempest, it will depict a Mid- life one.

This is definitely OOB, nothing added...

IMG_20210923_000933

Old Eduard kit, definitely not OOB, I used the PE set, modified the original seat plus some scratchbuilding...

This new Tempest is a treat to build !!

Assembled it is !! and almost no putty !! 

IMG_163234939713F

More to come soon, I hope that everything is going right for you all Gents !!

Things start to settle down a bit on here !!

Sincerely.
