I like that idea. I have a Cuban MiG 21, MiG 23, and MiG 29 in the chamber, which are for my cousin Pedro, who is Cuban and works in the Cuban army as an aviation mechanic.

Hi Everyone.

I know the current schedule of GB's will be over in June and that I had indicated that I would start canvassing the members formally for ideas for the next round come March or April. It seems many of you are champing at the bit given the last few pages of posts here and your enthusiasm, while commendable, has not rubbed off on me. I'm sorry to say that I'm no longer prepared to organize the polling for the next round of GBs due to many other things outside of this forum that are more important to me right now.

I hope that one of you will take up the sword and give this the energy that it deserves. I am happy to share the excel spreadsheet that I used last time if that might be useful, though it may not make sense to someone of saner mind. Fire me a PM if its needed.

Good Luck

Andy

Got tired of herding cat, understandable. Thank you for all the hard work up to now. Hopefully everything will get taken care of.

Well, now I have win 11, not the FULL version as there are many and lesser in capabilities!!!!! and they see fit to now CHARGE for Excel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pffffffffft to them!

I think we All as a group salute you for all your work........

 

[Donivanp]

Well I guess since our fearless leader has gone we should select a new fearful leader.

No im not really in the running. I only have one cat and I can't heard her.

I'm no good with the computer side of things, but we can make a start by coming up with ideas for subjects.

So far we have a few, if people like them:

1. Middle East Conflicts - Any conflict, any era, from WW.I to current.

2. They Also Served- Anything other than front- line fighters or bombers serving in WW II - Target tugs, trainers, transports, base hacks, communications aircraft, Search and Rescue, espionage/ resistance, reconnaissance, engine test beds, etc. Fghters and bombers can be included if serving in a secondary function (eg. Halifaxes, Stirlings and Albemarles as glider tugs, Lancs as engine test beds)

3. Post War Warriors - Post war civil and military use of WW.II aircraft.
I would restrict it to actual serving types, not post war development of German or other designs (Bell X-5 from Me P.1101, etc.)

These are just a few thoughts. They can be changed if someone has better or other ideas. We should start to get a list happening of potenrial ideas anyway.

Nope, devilled kidneys is sh*t on a shingle (or sh*t on a raft), as it looks just like it !!

Um, I'll take your word on that, must be a Very British thing.

 

[Donivanp]

We've done a Mustang and a Spitfire build, we could do a Bf 109 and or a Fw 190

 

[A4K]

That could be interesting. There was an unofficial Messer build a while back, and alot of people entered. That shows it would be popular.

Was thinking another 'Home Country' build, but this time from any era, not just modern.

Home country?

How about Italian?

 

[A4K]

Was originally 'Home Country Modern' Don - any modern aircraft from your home country. I would just change it to 'any era' for more variety.

Just to bring this back on track.

Andy, my sincere thanks for all the hard work you have contributed to the keeping these GB going. It's not easy to compile a workable schedule of builds for this bunch of rebels, you have managed to keep the cap on some wild ideas and have also kept the ball rolling. So well done old chap and again, thanks for all your efforts.

Also, many thanks Alan for being the real hero and taking this task on.

Another zombie build would be nice in the next set of GBs. Give me a chance to reduce the population of the shelf of doom. It's rather crowded at present.
