  1. There's usually half a dozen of them in my garden.Hiding from the pheasent shoot 1/2 a mile away.
  2. The Green goddess, was only in use by the military in the period you are modeling in exceptional circumstances ie the fireman's strike of 77-78, And also in 2002. That won't stop me putting one on my layout out of period, it just depends on how accurate you wish to be. Oh and you're going to need some yards of chain to tie down all those vehicles.
  3. On November 3rd, The German commander, Rear Admiral Franz Hipper was mine laying off GT Yarmouth and had intended attacking GT Yarmouth when finished, luckily He was disturbed by A mine sweeper HMS Halcyon which was joined by The destroyer Lively, causing them to break off and only a few ineffective shots were fired at the town. He was in command when they returned to attack Whitby / Scarborough / Hartlepool.
  4. Wind in wrong direction, I believe The late Thursday / Friday little blow should be more dramatic.
  5. Probably not with the amount of military cuts!
  6. You must be refering to The Falklands war, I Think Pacific 231G would be refering to WW2, Brut 33 was available in the UK from 1973 Old Spice was available in the USA from 1938 and so almost certainly did not arrive in the UK till post WW2 (except in a USA servicemans kit bag.)
  7. You didn't rule / own all of us, my ancesters using modern terminology are Scottish, Irish and a little lot that came to the UK from Scandinavia via northern France in 1066. I wore a shirt and tie in uniform or later jacket and tie until I went to work in Saudi in 1996, out there a tie wasn't required (same company) since there my working life has been of a lower standard of dress but now I wear a white coat. We have at least one Gentlemman who often turns up at the MRC in shirt and tie. If I were representing the club somewhere I would quite happily be formally dressed as I do when not sailing but representing my sailing club. You often get a little more respect from the public at an exhibition when doing so (but not always).
  8. My 3 outstanding models finally arrived today 19, 20, 21 all in good condition. There are a couple of kings in the Stalham news agent.
  9. I can write Norfolk providing I've got a reference book handy, but I can't speak it as I be vrom zomerzet you see and go all west country which upsets locals round here in North Norfolk. I too have to learn flint work form my layout in Wiltshire. Keep up the good work The Q
  10. It was announced yesterday the Abellio East Anglia were improving their trains by spending 10Million pounds on extra carriage cleaning and.... Putting more money into replacement bus services
  11. Not seen Issue 19 onwards as subscription or in the shops
  12. I want one, it'd be a lot quicker than those p******ing little things they'll sell to the public.
  13. The nearest boat I think is an Elysian 27 probably from before Bounty boats took over production.

  16. A fabulous model I'll have to make a note to see it, it's a pity my brothers house is just off Model!
  17. Please check that the model that you use is to these dimensions, many models especially older ones, used generic chassis and the wheels / wheel spacing may not be correct for the Loco it's rpretending to be
  18. I just received 18 today on its own but for an apology slip saying delivery problems 19 to follow. I get the feeling this series has been more successful than planned and the expected drop of in orders hasn't happened! I was in NORWICH yesterday and didn't see any models in the usual shops.
