Re: Concerts 2024
Second gig this week. This time back to the New Century Hall in Manchester to see the Blinders - and possibly their last as well after they announced a "hiatus" They were certainly on form with an absolutely blistering set. Superb. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53588661357_fb4a16546b...

Re: Concerts 2024
Last night saw us at the Albert Hall in Manchester to see the Pixies playing albums Bossanova and Tromp Le Monde in full. A great night. Support from the Pale White. Excellent band. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53584152217_0ca620b855_o.jpg z20240312_200839 by Derek N.Ferguson , on Flickr The ...

A pair of 1/144 HS Tridents
Firstly the X-scale Trident 1, finished in the BEA markings of G-ARPA. Not a bad kit but some details are a little too small for 1/144 scale, certainly for 60 year old eyes and fingers! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53585354909_09ed130cd8_o.jpg z20240312_125727 by Derek N.Ferguson , on Flickr ...

Re: Manchester Airport Runway Viewing Park Aircraft
The car parks are outside of our remit. We just look after the aeroplanes. I would suggest contacting the RVP management directly.

Re: Manchester Airport Runway Viewing Park Aircraft
On the 24th and 25th February, The Aviation Society are having a memorabilia fair at the RVP. I support of that, we're planning to have the RJX and Nimrod open for viewing. Ideal time to visit I would say.

Re: Manchester Airport Runway Viewing Park Aircraft
A quick update on the aircraft at the Manchester airport RVP. Our volunteer team is now 26 strong and around 12 or so turn out a couple of Saturdays a month in all weathers. Nimrod MR.2 XV231 has been given a fair amount of attention recently, especially the exterior. Lots of washing and we've start...

Revell 1/48 B-17F
My latest effort. The Revell 1/48 B-17F in the markings of the Memphis Belle. Not a bad kit fit-wise but the size makes it quite a challenge. Finished in Hataka acrylics and the kit decals. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53514623862_320b5d83fe_o.jpg 20240207_160253 by Derek N.Ferguson , on Flic...

One long term stash lurker has been this Eduard MiG21. A lovely kit with excellent fit and options. Fitted with Eduard's own pre-painted cockpit and finished as Czech "7701" as it appeared in 1998. The decals are the excellent Syhart sheet which fitted perfectly and went on easily without ...

Another racer. Bugatti style
This is the Special Hobby 1/48 Bugatti 100. A twin engine racing aeroplane built in France in 1937 but never flown. It was hidden from the invading Germans and was eventually moved to the USA. It is still in the EAA museum at Oshkosh. A replica was built and flown in 2015 but crashed in 2016 killing...

Last concert of 2023. Måneskin at the AO Arena. They don't really push the barriers of rock music but they are very very good at what they do. A great night out. Oh and they won Eurovision as well. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53411126848_0498a20177_o.jpg qzz20231219_203019 by Derek N.Ferguso...

SMER 1/48 Macchi Castoldi MC-72
An old and simple kit but OK to build. Finished in red with lots of copper cooling all over the airframe.
