~S~ Jim
It was a true pleasure to spend time chatting and flying with you and all the DD's, through good and bad times you were the glue that kept everything and everybody together.The warm welcome I would receive on joining T/S by yourself will stick with me always " Ah Nick, evening laddie" and to meet you in 2007 at Duxford was an honour.
Thoughts to you and your family jim.
A true gentleman.
Regards
Nick

Just when we thought we were getting to the end, we have been issued with another severe weather warning for tomorrow and Wednesday for the southwest.Heavy snow and freezing conditions, nevermind it could be worse

Does anyone have or nowhere I can find some bombing missions for the b25 I fancy trying to get to grips with the old bomb sight.I have the bombsight table to start with, and thought there were some training missions to go with it.
Cheers in advance

Spending a wet saturday afternoon catching up on old forum posts I stumbled across this very informative post by Pete, which brings me to a story that happened to me a couple of months ago.
I was on call for the week when on the wednesday night I was requested to attend a alarm line that was faulty for an establishment called Temptations, straightaway my radar was alerted to the name and queried if they really needed for me to attend at night, to which the reply came back "with most hast"
On arrive to said establishment we were escorted to the alarm panel that had the misfortune of being located in the ladies dressing area.Of the 6 ladies that were there I could count the amount of clothing on 1 hand that they were wearing.The fault was quickly rectified and the said alarm panel was tested and all was well.Having worked above and beyond the call of duty the lady managress offered that our hard work be rewarded with a cold beer, at this point I had to decline the gracious offering as we were still on call an unable to consume alcohol But a pint of something else would greatfully received.Retiring to the bar for our said refreshments we discovered that there was only 1 patron in the establishment and it was a quiet evening, it was then 1 of the employee's decided to put some pole practice in on the main stage to go with our well deserved drinks.
So having finished a job well done I returned home with 3 hours overtime, Cannon fodder_uk who attended this with me is still yet to recover.

Lately I've turned my modelling interest to the Napoleonic wars, mainly sea battles from that period and i thought i'd post some photos of the 1/1200 scale spanish warship i've been building.
Santisima Trinidad (140) 'at quarters':
This ship, in her time the largest in the world, is depicted as at Trafalgar, with immense 4-decked sides showing the barrels of her formidable broadsides. Distinguished by her red sides as well as by her size.
Im starting with the hope of doing all the ships which were present at the battle, 33 Spanish and French, and the 27 English.
The ships are made from white metal, brass and resin base.The rigging is nylon and you thread it yourself.All the black rigging is standard

After chatting on t/s the other night I thought i'd post the link for the single player campaign.18 missions which start in a Tiger Moth and move on to a MkIX spit based at Biggin Hill.Loads of info in the folder and the radio chatter is great,reminds me of the BOB and robert shaw.All in all its 1 download for the campaign, 1 fw190, 1 tiger moth, canons uk map, wrapper, ac installer.Very straightforward, I got it working straight away so it cant be hard.Enjoy, watch out for the third mission which is your first patrol over france its bloody tough and there are lots of aircraft
