Most likely because it's not a secure website the forum software or browser settings are preventing it displaying You'd need an SSL certificate to change from HTTP to HTTPS to fix it Photo's don't show for me in Britmodeller or if I click on the link, however if I right click and open them in a new tab in Edge I can see them fine.

tnuag Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 A link to the website won't help, as they are in a sub-directory specifically for graphics on this site.

dromia Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 None of the suggestions have worked for me, the closest I got was this: "HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Most likely causes: The directory or file specified does not exist on the Web server. The URL contains a typographical error. A custom filter or module, such as URLScan, restricts access to the file.

bzn20 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) I'd want more than that on with HTP around .. How about normal RAF ground crew 1960s/70s in overalls. ( RAF Denims). NOT in TACEVAL NBC gear please ( Airfix already did that in 1/72nd ) with loose tools ,hammers,spanners etc. and holding tools/drills etc. laying face down as if working on a wing . on their backs. Holding hands up as if lifting ,general working positions . Would be very handy . Stood about doing nothing , Cuppa Char and a cheese dog .... Just like the real things .

tnuag Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 Aircrew next (Dec), then ground crew (Jan/Feb). It isn't practical to do it all at once... Can you provide any photos of what you gave in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzn20 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Hi, How are you ? Not especially , just look at any airfield/ hangar scene . Airport books , I know you'll have a stack of books ! Aircraft mechanics - Google Search Mechanics working on aircraft wings - Google Search Men working on aircraft - Google Search Hopefully clicking those will throw up a stack of images .. Obviously not . Please just search Google Images using those words Edited November 24, 2021 by bzn20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, keep looking at Hannants for them but don’t think they’re on there as yet? Would welcome and appreciate an update as and when both the aircrew and ground crew figures are likely to be available please.
