Painless

Ok thanks, I will pass on the info Arjen... He is a plasterer at the moment but is ex Army and has been doing some bodyguard work for the last few years with a view to running training courses with another ex Army guy.

Hi fellas, a good mate of mine is after a second hand laptop. He can go up to £150 and would like Windows office on it. He only wants to use it for work related stuff and probably won’t even go online with it. I said I would ask you guys and see what the response was, thanks....... Mick.

Thanks mate, I am afraid that beneath this resilient exterior lies the soul of a soft squishy dad who is going to miss his ( not so little) buddy immensely! Pass me a tissue Tito.........

I imagine we will be leaving around tea time mate.

What a wonderful lady !

I’ll be in your neck of the woods Nick, delivering Marc and all his gubbins to Uni on Saturday.......

Crash suggested that Tuesday would become GBS night when the Bodenplatte module was released and that seemed a popular idea. However if enough chaps want it to happen now, why not ? I am fine with it Sidly.

Good one Tom !

Excellent to know that some of these chaps are still alive today especially considering that they were probably all a little surprised to still be alive in 1946 !

I read the book a few years ago Nick, your post has inspired me to read it again. To think that this man was grateful to have been "of use" at some point in his life is almost comical. In my opinion he was of more "use" than any ten of us ! Thanks mate !

Ah Swoop, if you heard the words “ dancing queen” that was Sid talking to me mate ?

Thanks so much for putting that together Chris, a great way to give friends and family a taste of Flying Legends mate. Bravo !

I have no problem with Tuesdays being an exclusive BOX evening Arthur but I also have no idea when that will happen. When it does then I suppose we could still alternate Sunday sessions as described .

Not yet as far as I am aware.

Just an idea which I have run by FT already. What do you guys think about running multiple short 1946 coops on a Sunday when we are due to fly BOX on the Tuesday which follows it. Then we run a long 1946 mission on the Sunday followed by a 1946 multiple short coop Tuesday. This would mean that we would have one multiple short coop session every week either on a Sunday or Tuesday and a FT special 1946 long mission every other week on a Sunday. BOX would remain every other Tuesday. Your thoughts please chaps.....

Great pics Nick and Dave !

It was indeed great fun, reminds us all how well we get along and why we are still dogz ! ?

I had a shandy because I am a Southern poofta ! Also had a Dansak curry for the first time, yum yum ! Bloody good show, great weather, good laugh CHEERS !

Completed the weekly shop at Sainsbury’s, walked the dog, setting off soon ....

@ Gypsy, LMAO mate, you and I seem to have a lot in common. I built airfix 1/72 aircraft first in Singapore aged 7 to 9. Then got into Tamiya 1/35 tanks back in England. Set fire to and shot the lot in my teens ! ?

Nice pics Crash. I went to a “run what you brung” weekend at Santa Pod years ago. I raced against my mates tuned Peugeot 205 GTi in my BMW 325i E30. Got rid of the back seat, the spare wheel, contents of the windscreen wash bottle, Nearly empty fuel tank and took a pee ! I still have the ticket with a 15.76 sec @ 88mph. Slower than the burger van ! Lol
