1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted June 19, 2013 1. DDz Quorum Posted June 19, 2013 ~S~ Chasps, Here are a few pics showing where I am with the DDz Squadron dispersal hut.................... The outside is finished except for the front door being painted "Buckingham Green" and the inside is being painted this week. Inspiration from the 1968 film John and Roy the builders make a start It is L5m x W3m , H3m made from 18mm T&G with 3" x 2" structural timbers/ roof truss. Dry lined with marine ply with cavity Rockwool insulation. 4 x double glazed window units with two openers Finished in dark brown , roof felt with period battens and black guttering. Plenty of room for sitting outside if the weather is good. Complete with "Scramble" notice and bell (as close as I could make it to the Film version) Still working on the inside. Stable door will look much better when painted green with "DDz_Sqn" on it. Will post more when inside has progressed. So now we have our own official DDz dispersal hut, any DD welcome to chat , get drunk, or even sleep in it....... ~S~ Painless Quote

DD_Arthur Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Lets see; he's been retired for two or is it three months now? He's built a dispersal hut. At this rate of progress the hanger and runway will be finished this time next year. He'll be digging up his first Spitfire the following Fall and it'll make it's Duxford debut at Leg Ends 2018. Just in time to publish the autobiography; "Painless - The Viagra Years." Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 20, 2013 2. Administrators Posted June 20, 2013 Although I understand that Mrs P (a remarkably tolerant woman I have always thought) has drawn the line at the dispersal hut. Apparently the request for a flagpole to fly the RAF standard from was denied. Jabo Quote
