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 !!

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. CC 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritag Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 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. On 9/17/2021 at 11:26 AM, corsaircorp said: I tried to have a bit of time bench yesterday... And bloomin well used time it was too 4 hours ago, corsaircorp said: As I clean up load of things, I found a pic of @Fritag wandering around my hometown years ago... 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 Google tells me XX744 was a 31 Squadron Jag - altho’ she’s not carrying any markings in that piccie. Nice piccie (bit biased) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 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... And now, one for @giemme, even with black crosses Gina remain Gina !! Time for me to get the flap down and gently came back on the ground... 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.

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.

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...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 !!

corsaircorp Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 Hello Dears, Some pics of the Tempests Wheel wells are done for the GB Tempest, it will depict a Mid- life one. This is definitely OOB, nothing added... 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 !! 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.
