Painless

Thanks for the publicity ODH ; ) Painless.

Great idea FT, what about researching some noteworthy happening that occurred on the real bridge and replicating it in your model ? Crazy huh ? LOL If the museum don't want it I could place it on the roof cross beams of the dispersal hut ? Great conversation point lol P.

Great fun it was ! Nice to see you chaps in fine form and I enjoyed meeting Suzi, Skidders : ) My m8 Ken wishes me to apologise for his lack lustre demeanour blaming it squarely on the six pints of 8.2% cider the hight before : ) The Typhoon was my fav of the day. Cheers, Mick.

We should perhaps wear black uniform because it seems that the Merlin in question is being replaced this weekend : (

Ohhh bloody bollocks !!! I'll see you at the Spitfire bar @ 10.30 so we can all weep together. Mick.

It's up to us to make sure that we are still around in another 10 years !! Where the hell else is a bunch of "special" people like this going to hang out ? WTG chaps. P.

Happy birthday Artage and Tonar! Have a fun day and don't say or do anything "stoopid" ; ) Let us know what you get . Mick.

WTG Gec ! ; ) Painless.

Points taken chaps . I've put a post and link to this thread in Founders just to draw attention to the issue. I see no reason why it can't be discussed openly here ? Only if we reach an impasse will it need to be decided by the Founders. P.

A friend of mine saves everything onto a hard drive somewhere, so all he had to do was locate it and burn me a copy, simples !. It was the same chap who has that WWII flying jacket and signed Lancaster print for sale (£1500 hint, hint : )

Copy of Dieppe DVD found chaps ! It is now winging it's way to Mr Jeremy Brettell. If you spent some time trying to find it for me previously, I thank you for that. Painless.

Happy birthday PapaBear, Thanks for providing us with our facilitator ! LOL Painless.

Welcome back Deputy, Great timing as we have just been talking about the " once a Dog always a Dog" no matter how long you are away philosophy : ) Painless.

Wow that is a first for me Col. Thanks for the opportunity, I love you man ! ; )

I think that is how he saw the 2008 post in the first place and found me isn't it Col ? I saw Jeremy looking at this thread as I was ? Or am I being daft, Quite possible I know Lol Mick.

Jeremy, I have been informed that the RAF museum at Hendon is not part of the IWM trust so you need to contact them directly....... curatorial@rafmuseum.org Good luck.

Thanks Chetly !

Hello Chaps, Some of you might remember me finding a reel of original gun camera footage from Dieppe 1942 which I donated to the RAF Hendon museum back in 2008. Here is the thread: http://dangerdogz.com/forums/topic/4754-painless-discovers-unseen-guncam-footage/?hl=dieppe I have been contacted by a relative of one of the pilots featured in the film :K1955 F/L BRETTELL 133 sqdn. He would love a copy of the footage as it may show a confirmed kill by F/L Brettell . The trouble is that so far I cannot find the DVD copy the museum sent me back in 2008 !! In the thread linked above some of you said that you had downloaded it, so my question is does anyone still have a copy please ? The relative (Jeremy Brettell) is going to re try the museum to see if their DVD copy can be found and copied. Thanks for your time chaps, this is a worthy cause I'm sure you will agree. Cheers, Painless.

That would be nice Nick, a musical afternoon spent in the company of Mr Merlin Olympus! yaaaaaay ; )

Will do the same tomorrow , thanks "Ollydayz" ; ) edit: booked .

All of the above ! I know the canopy mask may be on for a coat of inner cockpit colour, outer cockpit colour/s, gloss varnish then finally Matt/silk varnish. That's a lot of coats so a very very sharp scalpel will be needed. Fun fun fun ! P.

Truly incredible !

Lol

Are we there yet ?

I'm going to take sandwiches this time, the que for food was rather large as I remember ; ) P.
