My 1/48 Blackburn Buccaneer is on its way from Airfix!

My son in law (3rd daughter) has been accepted for officer school USCG. He has been enlisted four years although he had a college degree when he enlisted. When I suggested the recruiter sold a bill of goods, he insisted it was OK and don't worry about it. His plans are pilot training eventually. When I asked, "Fixed wing or rotary?" He said it didn't matter, but since I like the guy, I hope he goes fixed wing. The Coast Guard has a good heli record, so it's OK.

Congratulations!

Can't wait to see your next post in "a new book in my library".

Or maybe buying a new house and make it as a private museum for Militia items he has collected?

My son unit's is the recently created 4th Foreign Regiment Reserve Company.

This regiment serves as the Foreign Legion training center, comprising along with the HQ Co, 3 basic training companies , one cadre instruction company and a specialists training company, each with its training center (dubbed a farm), and consequently the regiment has no fixed manpower strength because of the personnel turnover.

To unburden the unit with the detachments and securities missions (notably the anti terrorism Vigipirate patrols), a 6th (reserve) company was recently created, and by exception is composed exclusively of French nationals.

As they are French reservists that did not enlist in the Foreign Legion, they do not wear the famous white képi on parade but the black infantry one.

For all the rest they train and serve exactly like the other Légionnaires, wear the green beret and 4th Foreign Regiment badge and use the regiment's armament and equipment.

Leaving for the 24h of Zolder today with my eldest son. Old fashioned camping near the track for 2 nights in a small tent. Looking forward for some quality time with my son.

Zolder btw is the former F1 race circuit where the famous Gilles Vileneuve passed away in the'80ies.

I've been binge watching this guy as well during the last few months. Makes my wish to buy a resonator guitar. I tried doing slide as well, but I suck at it

Just been told I'm a Great Grandad yet again. This one #6 and the best news is I will be seeing them over in the UK later next month.

Found out my sister finally kicked the deadbeat two-timing loser she's been shacked up with to the curb.

I managed to find an almost new, hardly used "Scootcase" travel-portable mobility scooter at just over half the normal retail price, which arrived today.
This folds down to a single, very compact package for transportation, and includes the extremely tough wheeled transit case ( although I doubt I'll use the case, as it's rather large and tricky for me to lift ).
This will make things much easier for me, loading and unloading into my car when travelling alone, as my regular scooter, although it strips down easily into five parts, is a lot heavier, and awkward to handle due to my limited grip and articulation.
Looking forward to trying it out on my next travels, beginning on 4th September, when I'll be back touring Norfolk and Suffolk.

What colour are you going to paint it?

 

[Greg Boeser]

But where do you put the cooler? And where's the beer can holder?

 

[Airframes]

It's already in "Stealth Black" - just need to figure out where to fit the AIM-9L's !!!

 

[Airframes]

Cooler and other storage hang over the seat back - the beer can holder mounts above the optional forward-firing minigun !
And no, there isn't any nose armour - it would affect the CoG ..................

My my.... you realley dont like to wait in line.

Well, best of luck with your scooter. One day I was driving down highly A1A and became concerned about a burning smell. Eventually I realized it was not coming from my car. The traffic was passing a slower moving vehicle up ahead. When I got up there I found an older gentlemen had tried to put a electric scooter in his trunk, but since it was too big to fit he decided to just let the rear wheels roll along behind the car. Of course, the wheels were not rolling and the rear tires were being milled down by the road. He was driving along with a big smile on his face, no doubt congratulating himself on his clever solution to the problem.

Why do I picture Terry wearing goggles and just driving his scooter off an aircraft loading ramp and skydiving, land and just drive off.

I can see him doing something insane like that.
