Windz Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I joined Britmodeller two weeks ago and what a great group you have turned out to be. I love the support, help and encouragement from it’s members. A great number of inspiring builds being posted and some wonderful responses to the few posts I’ve made, thank you. I think I will enjoy my time here. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's stolen a helicopter and is driving it through the staff car park in the hope that no-one notices.

And you really have to explain what that picture is all about. all the best Mark @Mike isn’t quite right. I think the Royal Navy might miss one of their £52mil Merlin’s. I couldn’t afford the running costs anyway, and where the hell would I sell it? Not sure Cash Converters would take it. I’m spreading the rotor blades after the helicopter has be brought out of the hangar to the flight line. I need to make sure I get the green and locked indications and free movement with the cyclic & collective sticks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LorenSharp Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 And I thought I had a small build area.. Nice thing is everything is in reach, you don't have to do much moving around to get something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to re think this now 🤪 Met quite a few Army guys while serving and it’s always (well…. nearly always) been a pleasure. Had some on the RFA Argus where I got this picture with their little helicopter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice thing is everything is in reach, you don't have to do much moving around to get something. @LorenSharp over 40 years I’ve been making models on a tea tray (ok, so there was a big gap from a kid and getting back into it, but you know what I mean). It’s so nice to have a space set up. I just need my wife to stop coming up with projects for me, I mean for the house 🤔 so I can spend time at the beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got caught up in the Suez Canal and the Jungle fighting in Borneo. Some of the stories (unfortunately some are second hand from my dad) are pretty interesting to say the least.

bootneck Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I'm a Borneo boy - been there, done that, got the App. Probably a little after your uncle's time though. cheers, Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
