I'm not that daft - I wasn't fooled for a minute by all those curls; spotted ya first time! (Seriously, good to hear from you, Pete :wavey:)

Do that, Matt - Yeovilton used to be my regular aviation haunt - I love that place. Years ago, your visit was almost certainly rewarded with the Sea Fury, Firefly or Swordfish on a check flight or all three departing for an airshow. The museum was sensational - that's where I fell in love with the big American radial CATS! Big, staunch, beautifully engineered, carrierworthy babies towering over the FA birds. When I was at secondary school in Torquay during the early '70's, we'd get a Camberra flyover every Thursday as regular as clockwork (undersurfaces yellow/black diagonal stripes). A REALLY extra treat would be the appearance of a Sea Vixen - man what a lorry of a crate!

LOL :cool:

Hi Andy, thanks for the HU :wavey: I think I must have downloaded the WIP version; Looking in to it!

Wouldn't be this one by any chance, Pete ol' matey! Anyone game for a spot of "Find The Pete"?...:jump: Nice Photos. Ian. Thanks for sharing. You wouldn't be thinking of working some of your magic on Yeovilton by any lucky chance, would you Ian?

Willy, I reckon you need a Sea Fury while the Seafire gets patched up. :kilroy:

Nice going Matt, for the grooviest freeware P-51, too! :applause:

I've spent more happy hours at Yeovilton than at any other UK airbase. Are you thinking of working some of your special magic here? :jump:

I've spent more happy hours at Yeovilton than at any other UK airport. (Sea Fury chasing!) Are you planning to work some of your special magic for Yeovilton? :jump:

Really nice progress, Nick.:applause: Bravo!

Thank you for the link Huub. A very nice gallery.

Lol. Not that I know of... maybe you're confusing me with Thanassi Vengos :running:... Angeliki Nikolouli?...:sheep: or Georgios Papamdreou :icon_eek: No need for the request, Nick - we're all Greek at heart here. :salute: And the prefered beverage: OUZAKI! "Αίεν Υψικρατείν "

:icon_eek: Bet he's an undercover agent for TROIKA... :running: Γρήγορα, σωθείται...κρυφθείται 'ολοι... (quick, save yourselves, hide...)

I hear ya buddy,:jump: imagine you and I flying a big fat drone with buddy cords; hey; You do rudder/elevator, leave me the ailerons/throttle. I can just hear our good ladies, too: "honey...:icon_eek: what's that you're carrying into the den in that great big box there...have you been wasting money at the model store, AGAIN???":a1089: "Box?...ummm...oh dat!...Naaa, Bud's been having a clear out, again...can you believe he was gonna trash all this...might come in useful someday..." :engel016: Folk will be combing a five mile radius for months picking up bits o' balsa. And we can get into a few cans of coldies and blame the nugget that switched on the same frequency.

:icon_lol: I'm just happy when my buddies are happy ...:guinness::guinness: nice one RD! Wouldn't mind the drone jockey's job, too...even I'd wear a flying suit for that...:wavey: maybe some snazzie Ray Bans - heck...shave off me moustache - voila; spittin' image of Tom Cruise...or was it Hanks...!!! She's got that feelin...(Hey Matt...holla if you can sing!) "Gentlemen, welcome to Topgun!"

Zippa-dee-do-da!...:salute: clever idea - thanks!

:icon_eek:.... hmmmm..... :running:...honey! quick, gimmee the oil can... :jump:

Great contribution Ted! Always generously surprising us all with gems such as this. Many thanks.:wavey:

Very much appreciated, BB. :salute: No rush though, take your time - stacks of things to get done.
