Yep, I can't see me wearing an Irvin; Frock, White; "blues" and pattern 36 boots in the cockpit in a 38deg Celcius balmy summer's day here!!

I know from the F16 that a Helmet, Mask and Harness in any sort of weather BOILS you.

Oh well...when I get away from these 80 hour weeks I will make some progress towards the "war-y shots" you want,

BUSTED....who told you my next 1:1 build is the bridge of the Royal Oak........that was supposed to be a secret!!

that isn't natural. Small wonder that trouble came of it, I say." The Gaffer
 
A life on the ocean wave,
A-home on the rolling deep!
Where the scater'd waters rave,
And the winds their revels keep.
Like an eagle caged I pine
On this dull, unchanging shore.
Oh give me the flashing brine,
The spray and the tempest's roar.

Vic,

AAAHHHAAAAA me Hearty...


What comes after a 1:1 Bridge??



....ah, well there be Dragons....




Yep, you guessed it..time for a cup of tea, a BEX and a nice lie down....
 
A little progress (by my mate, not me):

A real De-icing pump, these come in several slightly different models:




And the mock up made by Gwyn:





Ever the comedian......



But at least it solves my "where the %**@ did I put my pencil" problems.


I have also recieved the type G fuse box and Camera Heating switch for the Camera Selector Box.









I've decided that after 31 x 12 or 14 hour days straight, and another 14 at least to come, I am going to take Sunday off and
do some more building.

Hopefully Sunday I can get her flyable and do some of the selector as well..but not holding my breathe
