Re: M-O-O-N and other astronomical things
Nice shots, the only problem I foresee, is that it could get expensive if you chose to buy bigger, to get those Hubble clear images

Re: A-W Meteor NF.14 WS788 Restoration Project
Nice work on the gauges Blue but to my eyes, it seems visually odd that the instruments are placed behind the panel, as I'd always thought that the bezels were on the front face of the panel! Going back to my query regarding the positioning of the instruments, the link in Brian's (pen pusher) post ...

Re: Now complete Tamiya 1/48 Avro Lancaster
Just to repeat that which has already been said above, a nice looking model and hope that you have somewhere secure for it.

Re: IWM Duxford Transferring Land Warfare Hall Contents to Pima?
I haven't read anything about this, is there any particular reason that the LWH is being demolished and what are the plans, is any, for the space created?

Re: Build Thread: Tamiya 1/48 Avro Lancaster
Ant, I'd guess that the bombs haven't been painted yet as the kit has been moulded in black but as I say, it only a guess! Derek, I also am enjoying your build but if it is of interest, I've read that the Cookie bomb is seriously undersized although I was never that concerned, as although I built mi...

TonyC, get those pencils back out mate. I have an arty side too that I don't put to use often enough, but it really is something we should be doing. When I've finished a painting or a sketch, I'm always glad that I made the effort. Maybe one day but at the moment I've got a little too much in front...

Re: Drawing Aeroplanes.
Ahh, Rotring pens, I remember many a time, having to clean them out and having to replace the needle nibs, which I had to do repeated, due to having bent them! I think your finished drawing is excellent and very much in the style that I used to do myself in the late 70's, very early 80's, albeit wit...

Re: RAFM disposals
I replied in the BM post, which I pasted below but guess its more about the collection as a whole, rather than disposals... In an 'ideal world', I'd shut Hendon, sell the land and move the entire collection to Cosford and use the money from the sale, for purchases, maintenance . I'd then make the po...

As an aside to the post, is there any reason why Sukhoi seem to have overtaken MiG, as Russia's prime military aircraft manufacturer?

Just to add my appreciation and thanks for your updates in what has been a taxing year for everyone! It great that your interest and desire for '788 remains undiminished, where maybe, given the events of this year, it would be understandable if this had waned! Therefore. many thanks, more power to y...

Re: 1/72 scale Sea fury, help.
Hi Andy,
If its not too late, I have the remains of a decal sheet from the Trumpeter 1:72 Sea Fury FB.11 kit (01631) which includes black & white stripes for upper/lower wings and the fuselage!
Happy to send them to you, if they will help?
Tony

Re: Flying Legends 2021 - 10th & 11th July at Sywell (Merged)
I'd be surprised if the locals will be happy, I seem to remember that they managed to delay the building of the concrete runway for quite a few years and isn't there also a limit, to the number of movements allowed each day/week?

Grosjean has got talent to d...

Tony, we are in the business of restoring rather than scrapping aircraft, so of course it's worth it! The rest of the aircraft is in very good order...

Re: A-W Meteor NF.14 WS788 Restoration Project
Another great update but don't spread yourself too thinly matey! TT Sometimes, a change is good and '788 wll benefit, in the long run but I wonder, a lot of that corrision on the JP looks terminal or at the least, very time consuming, is it (I hate to use the phrase) worth it? Of course I'm no fett...
