Roscrea County Tipperary Railway Station

Play about with this - http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,613912,689984,7,9 - there's maps from various times available.. -
More of a fan of the Mil 24..

No, not even any left at all, although the remains of a crashed one were found a while ago. There never were many and they're all gone ages ago. There are plans to build a full size flying replica, apparently - and you could get plans in the '70s to build a 2/3 size one at home. It suffered from the Peregrine engine and the Beaufighter eclipsed it in the end - nice-looking, though, I'll agree.

Does seem to have a tendency to make you want to fly on the ground.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nltc_dq_VXI ..ans seems to need it's fuel tanks inspecting in an unorthodox manner..

I went to Cosford last week - they have a Storch there - and a couple of Gnats... Lovely thing, a Storch - flyable down to around 30mph..

Few things looked as nice as a MiG 19 - zero-length launch must have been quite exciting - and pulling the 'chute whilst you're still in the air is a mark of someone who's confident in what he's doing - a common 'fashion' with Russian pilots.. Only ever seen one close-up, in Prague Air Museum. Serious guns, requiring big blast-plates....

Gnat for me - such a simple, civilised little plane - like a sidecar with wings - nothing else that will roll 400 degrees a second - you need a special sort of head to keep up with where you are.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N4H5gQ3WbQ

It had a really distinct whistle and a whine that other Dart-engined things didn't have. The prop blades were very square-ended - maybe that had something to do with it, but there was just no mistaking it.. It also had one of the best 'faces' - the lower viewing window was slightly offset and gave it a sort of quizzical look.. It often appeared as a character in RAF cartoons..

Few planes get better-looking as they get modified, but the MR3 was the nicest, I think - the tricycle undercarriage really suited it. There was a better video using a lot of that footage, but it's gone 'private' now, for some reason. A lot of aircraft were quite recognisable from their sound, but the Shackleton was unmistakeable. The Argosy was another, no mistaking that, either.

That's magical - enter it for Eurovision.

It's the thought that counts.

Congratulations. Indoctrination should start immediately - model railways are really lots of little doll's houses - with a train, as well...

Or Baby Gemma..?

Any photos? Probably looks a bit 'new' - get some weathering on later...

-
Yeah, right... Have a good cover story and stick to it.

Positive vibes..!!

I thought you'ld soon flush him out. -
Blonde walks into a library, goes straight up to the counter and says "Two bags of chips, please." The librarian patiently says, "This is a library." "Ooh, sorry", says the blonde, and whispers "Two bags of chips, please."...
