What a beaut, but my Mrs said "Stick to Airfix."
Are there any pictures taken FROM "Bears" of Javelins carrying out interceptions?

I know a bloke in the UK who was arms broking USSR Subs when they were for sale.

It all got a bit complicated (and large) so he ended up putting the buyer in touch with the seller and let them do the deal.

A real, live, working sub !

I REALLY hope it doesn't show up in the news as part of a 'false-flag op' for one side or the other...

And yes I remember the sub- my son sent me the link a few years ago.

I'm trying to think of something funny along the lines of ****ting in the woods but can't think of a link.

It was me who put in the bid by the way.



















No it wasn't I just can't help lying.

No I wasn't aware.

I also think it wasn't him but someone from one of the Euro countries (northern).

Either way, interesting that they did actually get sold to private buyers.

I would watch out for that Bear, he's pulled a few Blinders Fiddling the Badger at Blackjack - but he's a Careless, Crusty Cookpot & it's all going to Backfire on him one day!

Thx Teej- couldn't make them out clearly- also I hadn't read the screed accompanying the pic on eBay.

Thrust Aug- i Harke to what you say about the Bear- I knew it when it was a Cub. to Horse around, and Hound the Badger is not Hip, its Hare brained! We could be more Candid and expose this known Forger for Fencing stolen Frescos. May be he could become a Farmer, of Camels, Colts or Bisons, but become a Brewer-not a chance!

ps thx for the inspiration! This is fun
