Have a nice holiday season!
Have a Merry Christmas mate! Maybe Santa will stuff your stocking with silhouette books?!

Nice job with the DAR-4 Trevor. You're not allowed to go on holidays!

Thanks Graeme,

What's a holiday??

As I don't know if LM has turned in for the night, I think to prevent the thread stalling, I'll declare it Open House so anyone lurking can pop up a challenge (including you mate)!

Going to turn-in now got a long day tomorrow. Have a g'day mate!

Probably not a good choice mate...spur of the moment thing.

British flying bomb..designed to destroy Kamikaze attacks.

It's actually very small and ship launched.

Thats a new one on me - never realised we had such a thing! Well, googled it, came up with nothing, so going to close down now.

In case I don't catch you before hand, have a good Christmas Graeme....

Night night.

This is a really great forum for finding out things you never knew about a vast and fascinating industry.

Thanks Graeme (and Mel) I Hope you guys have a Great Chrisfmas and a healthy New Year!!

Good morning TC - yes I had, in fact a long time before that. Full of painkillers again.

Wot's going on now? Is it Mels' turn?

edit to say understand waiting for Graeme to confirm.

Have a look at Mel's photo of the Stooge....just below the end of the Swallow motors.

What is that in the background? A GAL glider?

Graeme,

Since you seem to have aversion to green, what colours do you like?

The caption for my photo tells the reader it was taken (probably) at Aberporth.

Nice area?

Things are going to be very quiet around here I suspect with Christmas rapidly approaching.

You going anywhere on your two week break?

Aberporth?

Not a nice area in my opinion. It's on the west coast of the Llyn Peninsula, West Wales.

They used to operate Jindiviks from there, for the benefit of Lightning squadrons based at RAF Valley on Missile Practice Camp detachments.

Wanna some more?

edit: not going anywhere mate. It is wise to stay close to the hospital at the moment.

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like a wise plan then.
I'm only off work until Boxing Day. Will be away tomorrow and Christmas Day.

Gotta be honest, not the slightest interest in Christmas this year. I'm the ultimate Scrooge.

Then times might be lean on thread. Let's hope some are around.

I hope TC will be, because he has just sent me four images to silhouette.

You're not alone.
