So how much do you want for it ? Or put it another way, how little will you let it go for ?? I know you are "spoken for" untill the weekend so no rush in replying. I will email from a "proper computer" tommorrow about "the other stuff"....

Hi stu, see sent pm...

Cool....

Hi stu, I take it you have now sold the engines shown as a job lot ? Is that correct please ? Over.....

Thanks stu, but...... Cox 12 Me. 16 Gold head 18 Enya 18 Comes to 64 Frog. 25 Comes to 89 That's not allowing for the Albion and the small black diesel mills ? Over.....

Hi stu, new pm sent...

Taipan gold head, see sceptreflight

Stu, would you accept £10 plus postage for the twin exhaust red head engine and the Cox as a bundle ?

May I ask, how much would you accept for the twin green exhaust ref head engine please ? I suspect it to be an ME heron or snipe ? I suspect I will be out bidded on most if not all offers... The Cox engine, what size prop is on it please and can you measure piston diameter please ?

That's the beauty of boats, your always gunna get wet. The question is, how wet, as in "a swim or not !? ".. .I take an old fishing rod to hopefully cast over the stationery model, to retrieve..... Not had a titanic yet, all unused hull "air" is foam filled..... Sail powered boats ( yachts ) are best, a bit like sloper soarers... 🤓

Unfortunately not.....but I do have a merco 61 marine glow that would suite the model quite well.....

If you fancy refurbing a large wood huntsman, pm me...

Was there an airshow at woodvale over the weekend I wonder ? Been hearing radial piston engines locally, cloud base too low for visual... Heard and saw ( didn't get outside early enough ) two biplanes following nantlle ridge, nantlle valley side, below ridge and cloudbase, heading towards Snowdon, they came back very quickly, headed thru gap towards garndolbenmain and porthmadog. This area is not the place to be flying in low cloud base in vintage aircraft, or any aircraft for that matter.... Two doors down reconed maybe ww1, camo painted....they seemed quite large but tooo far away for me to recognise... They pasted about 16 mins ago now.....

Jig a jig, b side to albatros. Remember if the jig is "out", so is everything made on it. The red Square sticker is available elsewhere. I accurately drew mine onto the flat, square ( twas oblong really ) level and warp free jig board some years ago now. The slec captive nuts are fitted underneath, so are just slightly recessed on the top. Feet glued underneath the board accommodate any protrusion of captive nuts and/or screws..... Cling film these days prevents glue/airfrane adhesion issues. I used to used greaseproof paper with plan info drawn onto it, placed on a board, but jig and cling film is much quicker and less hassle. Each to his own. Weather is gunna be nice again soon.....

Nah, twas not a t tail.... The chap that kindly showed the flight plan tracking for the osprey, no, sorry, c130, Hercules, the other day, any info on that app ? It seemed to be flying from Snowdon area, down the nantlle valley, heading more or less to RAF llandwrog that was, area, maybe onward to RAF valley ?

no, aircraft had canards........

nope, not a saab draken but could have been a saab viggen ?

NANTLLE VALLEY, some way north of the mach loop..... the aircraft i saw yesterday afternoon, may have been the typhoon eurofighter with leading edge "slats" well down, but the wing shape looked wrong, more like a saab draken thing. Twas quite low, quite slow, not much engine thrust heard above the quite loud continual "whistleing". We only see ( feel as well as hear ) a eurofighter at speed locally. This aircraft i saw yesterday afternoon waws not a eurofighter as far as i could tell. a eurofighter low and slow, makes a whisteling sound ?

Was that a Saab draken ? That flew down nantlle valley low and slow and *whistling" quite loudly yesterday afternoon ?

Google shows some with 8 blades even... 👍

Cool, so you must live some distance from the airfield. It's a lovely day here again today, all ready hot. Aurora hunting with the lad tonight...he has a good camera and he's on annual leave... Have s great day chaps and chapeses...

Hi outrunner, Do they seem quieter than h ercs of old ? If you can see the propellors, are they an odd shape compared to props of the old RAF fleet ?

Thanks John, Yep, that looks like it... Looks as if it has multi blade rotor rather than 4 blade paddle type prop. The long dashed line, actual flight line or proposed flight line ? Mach loop is some distance away from peny. If dashed line was proposed flight line, it was way off line !!!! Waiting in caernarfon bus stop, saw American helo, about ten mins ago now...

was in raf camo colour scheme as far as i could tell. was not noisey, quite quiet, not a typical herc noise, did they fit multi blade fans instead of the 4 blade paddle type prop ?? defo a herc, i have been in a few, but could not see the outside.......😁 yes i knew the fleet had been "pensioned off" which prompted me to post asap. people on here have that app giving flight plan info ?? anything mentioned on that ? was at bus stop in peny, looked like he passed tv mast with it on his starboard green side, and at a lower altitude than the top of the mast from my view point..... mast guys stick out quite a bit, national grid pylons close by, he seemed to climb a bit to fly over Carmel, would have been lower than my mates place, if he was outside ( beautiful day here again ) , he would have been looking down at/on it, but as said, seemed very quite. as to osprey, bloody yanks........ saw one which seemed to be flying just above our kitchen floor level, across the other side of the valley. It was below the level of the first "hill" height, very very very low and very very close to rising ground on his side of the valley, rising ground to his port side. he was heading out of the valley in the direction of the mast and pylons. Very limited opportunities to gain height, similar for change of heading. I did not hear a crash and the lights stayed on..... i reckon he flew under the pylon wires !!!!! i will ask mo later, if he saw the herc..... any flight plan app info ??

About ten mins ago watched s hercules fly over penygroes by caernarfon, lower than the top of TV mast z heading towards rsf valley perhaps. Tail ramp was open. No exhaust smoke seen and was s bit on the quiet side. Rotors instead of props perhaps ? 16 + mins ago now due to delays in message
