  1. Steady, don't you know there's a war on? I'll take a picture of it one day and post it. I often wonder if anybody even saw them. The shadows suggest that it was about nine in the morning.
  2. Very nice. Is that a Tempest below it?
  3. Sad news - commiserations from me to all concerned.
  4. An excellent qualification for posting on here...

    Sligo Bus

    I took a Kavanagh bus into Portlaoise in the late 90s and got roped into handing the parcels out as we went along..
  6. I picked up one of those, too - I'll have to build a shed to construct it in first.. Always been intrigued by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Ulrich_Rudel since I read his book. Hasegawa used to do a 1/8th scale Fokker triplane!
  7. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24231077
  8. ..?
  9. Excellent! Could be starting a trend..
  10. Lucky she didn't use a line-prop....
  11. Lovely. I have a reconnaissance photo of my house (+ other things) taken on 3/9/1940 by an 88 A-4. I've never been able to be sure of the actual aircraft involved - one day I might find out - I must get one of these in stock for that day...
  12. I met Mick Martin, who flew AJ-P, about 1970. He didn't retire from the RAF until 1974.
  13. Are you a Clare man?
  14. Those paving blocks will be 100 x 200 mm - so the line at Ballybrophy is a tiny bit less than 200mm, but near enough..
  15. Find a block-paved drive and scale it off this..
  16. How old-fashioned. I saved one of these remarkable machines from the skip.. Do keep up with the times...
  17. Indeed, I just had visions of you being a very early-adopter of computer technology..
  18. For a minute there, I didn't believe you Then I realised that you meant from China, not from Canada....
  19. I generally object to the constant, unnecessary and inappropriate use of the word 'stunning'. This layout, however, does merit such a description. And more!
  20. This is interesting - http://planefinder.net/ - if you're ever wondering what's flying over your house. I had to pick two Americans up from Manchester a few weeks back - I watched them on here and set out as they flew over Holyhead - arrived five minutes after they emerged from the terminal..
  21. I'm aiming for one of these, eventually..
  22. I genuinely have one in the car + one in the portable kit and one in the house kit. It will cope with anything that you might survive. If I ever use one, then I'll take a picture for you...
  23. Might be this sort of thing. The French instructions on the other side describe it as a 'tampon' (i.e., pad). But, I can't find a picture of that side. Useful thing to keep in the car and with the chainsaw...
  24. Lovely..
  25. So, just a 'Gathering' thing..? Maybe this sort of event with no public access to grounded aircraft might be an attractive alternative..
