    Oshkosh by gosh

    The BV 138 was built by Blohm & Voss , a ship building company . All other flying boats were built by Dornier. An aircraft Co. Dornier still flies ( i think ) a highly modified DO 24 . Germany flew a number of Diesel powered aircraft .

    Oshkosh by gosh

    The USAF still had some Orange flight suits in the late 60's to 1970 . Coming from Texas, the boots and hats ar not hard to believe . I remember seeing an EC-121 at MacDill in 1976 . Must have been Navy since it was blue .

    1/700 Sentinel Class US Coast Guard WPC #922

    It has it's positive and negatives . Not worth it to me at this time . The risk of major storms with nowhere to go are problematic with the possibility of not having a place to live when you return . Some of the locals are still trying to recover from last year.

    1/700 Sentinel Class US Coast Guard WPC #922

    I should be moved in three weeks but there will be a lot of incidentals afterwards . No idea how long that part will take to accomplish. At least, I will be somewhere where I can work towards that end .

    After a long hiatus - back with a Lancaster Mk.III 1/72

    Hi Alex, glad you are alive and well . Good luck on the job . How inconsiderate to move a family to just kick them to the curb a while latter. Don't care what country it is .

    1/700 Sentinel Class US Coast Guard WPC #922

    Was there a catamaran involved in this build or is it mostly about size ? A is the never mind size according to some that do other plastic surgeries . Sorry Chris I'm having some plastic withdrawals and may not be right in the head .

    Oh happy days!

    Be aware, it is not the original business. I have been there before. I think they just bought out the trade mark. Cheer, Christian

    Sad news. John ‘paddy’ Hemingway, the final battle of Britain pilot, has passed away aged 105

    Well , the last of a tough generation is nearly gone. The older I get , the less I believe anything about war is great . In the end, everyone looses. Just some more than others. Still like airplanes though . Amazing machines that required brave men to fly them .

    Wreaking Havoc 1: A-20B 41-3266(?) Outhouse Mouse with a Sharkmouth

    Recognition lights ( lower aircraft ) . They were a code for ground troops to know what was flying over their position after dark to avoid friendly fire . The three light were used in a predetermined order . Code of the day .

    I totally agree . Call me lazy but that would save a lot of time and some regrettable language .
