Ta Womby, don't think it liked the move.  Sorted. :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Probably fly pretty well.

And they'd best have a cherry picker to get the crew onboard.

I had one of these when I was 13. Traded a dirt bike for it. What a load of fun, 2 or 4 wheel drive, and amphibious !  I've always wanted to model one.

I was in a toy store last weekend and saw a toy car I had to buy - Argo Avenger. Don't know how or if I can fit it into this GB but it looks fun!

I could swear I remember seeing these offered in the back of Popular Mechanics, way back in the day (40 years ago), as a kit, IIRC.

That looks like one of those Japanese "hobby horse" fighter display team "aircraft", only bigger. :angel:

My Dad was a Fireman and used to run a 'mini fire engine' in the summer.  It was a pick up, painted red and dressed up with lights and ladders. We used to go around all the local fairs and galas, the kids would pay for a ride to raise money for the benevolent fund.  Great times.

Steward Davis actually got an STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) for the three jet-pod installation,
one under each wing and one on top. The STOL Master was the only civil C-119 to get the underwing
pods but the third pod was never mounted.

Are they going to fire them all off ashore using the catapults? It'd be quicker than craning them off I'm sure.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I'm sure Uhaul (for the 83 shot) would have appreciated that.
