Cheers Evan, that's my fourth MiG-21, one could be led to believe that I've got a thing for that bird!
Hopefully the workload will lessen shortly, the Edinburgh Festival is doing our heads in, never been this busy before....

 

[Capt. Vick]

I picked up this one up a couple of weeks ago...

Looks marvelous and I would pay good money to see it swallowed.

.....are you gonna give it a shot?

 

[fubar57]

Nah, I prefer the more meatier 1/48 fare.

Nice one Jim. And I was wondering if many children swallow SM-84s on a regular basis ................

 

[Capt. Vick]

Oh it's at epidemic proportions over here Terry. That's why Aviation USK liquidated their assets!

 

[Wurger]

Harmful if swallowed... yes but without a chaser and jam. The most harmful parts seem to be these props.

 

[A4K]

Nice one Jim! Good investment too...the more eaten, the rarer and more valuable it will become. Could be your pension right there!

Some of these 'Politically correct', or 'Health and Safety' statements on modern packaging really irritate me by their crass stupidity.
My Doctor recently prescribed some sleeping tablets, when I couldn't sleep due to pain or discomfort. The packaging bore the warning "Caution - may cause drowsiness"!
What the **** were they supposed to do - cause me to fly over roof tops singing the theme from 'Mary Poppins' ?? !!!!

Terry, all these warning are because some "genius" couldn't figure out the painfully obvious. Our haul trucks have to have head lights on during the day because some idiot never saw a bright yellow 49'x31'x25'(15mx9.5mx7.7m) object coming towards them.

Always loved the plastic US army canteens, with the moulded inscription 'Do not apply canteen to heat or open flame' !

 

[Airframes]

And the 'Claymore' mine, with the words 'Front towards Enemy' moulded into the front of the casing !!
And packets of peanuts, with 'Warning, may contain traces of nuts printed on the label.
Traces? If I bought a packet of peanuts, I'd want more than bl**dy 'traces' - darned d*ckwits !!!

 

[A4K]

Seen that myself Terry! Though it has to be said, it's rare to find a food nowadays that actually does have traces of what it's meant to be in it!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Terry, peanuts are actually legumes, not nuts. They are in the same family as lima beans, aka butter beans.

 

[A4K]

So even peanuts are artificial Aaron?!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Not artificial, just beans.

 

[A4K]

Imagine asking for baked beans and getting a plate full of hot peanuts though!

 

[Airframes]

Now I didn't know that!
So, to be in-line with the 'norm' for the warnings on the packet, it should state 'May contain traces of beans' !!

 

[A4K]

...and the cartoon Peanuts should actually be called 'Beans', Mr. Bean is possibly really 'Mr. Peanut', and the popular children's book could alternatively be called 'Jack and the Peanut Stalk'
