Ah, yes, but the shady character's associates have just been moved along by PC Dibble, who is informing the complainant that any further trouble could be avoided by not throwing emty tea mugs at them. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I have to say that there are some quality scruffy rooves there. Well observed and beautifully executed. I've still got about three quarters of my stock to do. I'd like to use the second picture as my yardstick. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted June 17, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2020 Red Leader to base, Red Leader to base, over. Base receiving, over... Red Leader here, target acquired and concealed in goods shed, commencing fly past for pictures. Out. Base to Red Leader under no circumstances let PC Dibble get your identity. Please respond. Over. Red Leader to base, he is chatting and I am wearing dark tinted goggles so he shouldn’t recognise me. Out. After completing his mission the Squadron Leader returned to base and the pictures were urgently developed. At this point please imagine 30 minutes have past ..... ..... ..... ..... and here are here they are! Clearly showing the railcar in the goods shed. Hiding or loading....? I leave that to your imagination....!! 15 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Mick Bonwick Posted June 17, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2020 I'm going to have to take people to task for their radio operating procedure. I'm not a pedant and I don't criticise other people's work, but you have something to learn. I can accept the callsign Red Leader as being part of it's time, but the other party would not use Base as a callsign. Despite what you see and hear in comics and films. Spot the deliberate misuse of an apostrophe. I wish there was an emoji for tongue-in-cheek and another for groan. I'm sure they'd both come in useful. 3 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do tend to build and paint wagons in a kind of production line, but when it comes to weathering I will do only one, then go and do something completely different for a while. We don't need that factory weathered orange overspray look now do we? 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what time period is your joke set? It's not likely (although technically possible) that a Sopwith Camel and a Messerschmidt would be airborne at the same time.

Firstly - Everyone knows the Squadron Leader flies a Sopwith Camel - that much has been much documented. Secondly - The time period for Little Muddle is very much in the timey-wimey, flexible, Dr Who-style of vagueness, so what might be 1930 at Encome Town might also be later 1939 at Little Muddle. Thirdly - Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AG was founded in 1916 and is the forerunner to Messerschmitt, so it's entirely possible that the engine noises of the two could be mistaken. Fourthly - Have you fixed your flap yet? 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
