Trotski

ok, now its there lol

errrrrm......not found

I was teethed on Biggles books, still have several in my collection to this day.

TEFLON DOG........also known as non stick pooch

Cowardly fuckers, is all I can say, to deliberately target a place that was mainly being visited by young mainly girls, is beyond the pale, they could not have chosen a better way to destroy themselves, and prove just how evil they are, unfortunately the Government, is more liable to appease and placate,rather than maybe upset the few Muslims who actually believe that this is an acceptable and "Godly" act . The world must wake up, smell the coffee, and start removing these vermin , the intel is there, the means are also there, the very fact we allow known ISIS/ISIL/DAESH/ (or whatever the bastards call themselves) fighters who left this country to go and fight for jihad, or God or some other shit, to return back here, I say no, arrest them, intern them, arrest their whole families, and intern them, we cannot pussyfoot around anymore, we cannot be politically correct any more, we have to take the nasty pills, and show these fuckheads that the "world" will not accept this any longer, the so called moderate Muslims, MUST start standing shoulder to shoulder with the rest of us in the stance against these scum, for it is true that these "fundamentalist " wankers, have actually killed more Muslims , than they have anyone else, and it is time to kill them, destroy them, and unite under one goal and belief that this cannot be allowed to continue, or succeed . How many more innocent folk, be they black , white, yellow, sky blu pink with purple spots, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Male or Female, must die for the cause of political correctness and appeasement. I hate any form of bigotry, racial or theological, I have no axe to grind with any one, but, by fuck, you step into my country, and kill the children and women and elderly of my country, and I will see you dead, and if that means we have to sink to depths of barbarism to achieve this, then so be it, sometimes the end must justify the means. The only way to fight terror, is by adopting the same methods and levels of barbarity, there are no conventional or diplomatic ways of doing it.

nice one !! yet another to add to the collection, or rather update the collection.

Thanks for that very interesting

Yes this is on my must watch list as well

Yes it kind of makes me wonder, as it would seem young Pilot Officers, and apparently 2nd Lt's suffer from the same malaise, how it is that RAF Navigators actually manage to have these missing skills, or is it merely that Navs are selected from the Cranwell/Sandhurst entrants who fail miserably at the piss poor map reading skills course, and is that also why most Navs are miserable buggers , because they really wanted to be Pilots, but they were inadequate in the failure to incorrectly decipher a map reference and knew which was the pointy up bit on a compass

Aren't those cars just a thing of beauty, flowing lines and sensual curves, the perfect "ace" accessory

yes we were more likely to get severe pokey drill or speed drill, holding an SLR out at arms length in one hand sort of concentrated the mind somewhat, I sort of understand the logic behind this though its to put trainees under pressure, and confusion, ensuring an unwavering discipline under extreme if ridiculous circumstances. However It would not work for any Brit service man or woman, as they would end up pissing themselves at these antics and I also think the Brit Forces want men/women with a brain, not automatons who just act unthinkingly. Our Officers in the RAF Regiment did the same training as all gunners, at the same camp, after doing their stint at Cranwell of course, we used to compete against the JROC entrants, and apart from the fact that they resided in the Officers Mess, they were no different from the rest of us, consequently the understanding between junior Regiment Officers and other rank Gunners was quite good.....except for the map reading, i am sure junior officers were taught map reading skills by a half blind and insane Mongolian bog snorkler, never met a Regiment Zob who could read a damn map properly hahahaha, either that or they just did it to make us Rocks look good and give us something to chuckle about !!

love the observer with the tin lid on !!

Oh good lord, that crap just wouldn't work in the British military, I really do not see the benefit, or actual purpose behind this practice, I have seen several videos of this load of bollox going on in the USMC recruit training, and personally, the DI's make me think of Chimpanzees, I am sure they learned all this stuff from the higher primates ! Yes we got beasted, and bawled at, but there was none of this in your face screaming and shouting, but it was more along the lines of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman , than a silverback Gorilla. I really couldn't see any British squaddie putting up with it, the DI would be more than likely decked in short order. But still each to their own.

Again I have to say, I just wish I had the capability to do some of the stuff , I would love to get in a project , but no 3ds max skills or ownership, and zero idea on creating fm's or anything that involves counting above the amount of fingers and toes I have is beyond me, still learning the skinning trade, and I hope I am getting better at it, I know how time consuming that is in itself, so I dread to think the man hours involved with actually making and perfecting a model actually take, as for the technical jiggery pokery, I would be as useful as a bidet in a gorillas cage ......I love both yours and Stephens work, yours in particular has so much attention to detail, the models could be mistaken for aircraft form really hi end sims. Respect and gratitude to you and all the other model makers and workers of majiks .

smashing stuff, looking forward to it, along with the Gladiator this has to be my favourite between wars bi plane.

cant wait for that delicious Chirri

Yes one of the nicest looking poss WWI British bombers, I must make my Matchbox kit of it soon, if I can find a nivo paint match

It looks a bit like a Heyford with one wing missing.......theres a pre war aircraft I would love to see !!

I think Stephen has started a craze, it may be the sport of the year, wonder who will get the first recorded rifle kill hahahahahaha..........especially in the MS L the pilot holding the stick between his knees as he takes pot shots

I havent fired up my ROF for ages, I must have a flight or 3 at some point.

Historically the 28 wasn't that good compared to the 10 , I guess that is why the French sent them all to the USAS, as it wasn't that popular with the French pilots, it did the job though, the Americans had a lot of aces on type, but compared to the Spad, or the N 10 , or Camel/snipe or SE 5 it wasn't that great an aircraft, one of my personal favourites is the little Hanriot, a little slow but it handles nicely.

The Arse Team DII/III is actually not bad shape wise, it "looks" like a Halb , however, the FM is most likely up the creek, and the cockpit view.......oh dear, its got a feed chute leading into thin air, and really, they just didnt try at all with the pit. not actually flown the thing because the pit put me off straight away, I was going to do a new skin for the Halby , as you have seen I have done a Kesta 4b skin for the Fokker E IV ( Hannah) I have also done 2 for the Fokker DII, the Fokker DIII's are next on my to do list, so eventually we shall have the whole kesta as per the photo, you know the one I mean , see attached........unfortunately, as much as I hate to say it, Borts Halby, is well past its sell by date, it was fine for FE1, but frankly it doesnt look its best now............Sorry Bort if you are reading this, it's still a better model than I could hope to make ! So I apologise if I offend.
