The much vaunted "Lion and Dragon" squadron of the Royal air guard of Socotra.

Last seen during the 2nd Eurovision conflict, when Constantine the cross eyed Caliph of Socotra spat his dummy out because Isreal was considered to be in Europe and Socotra wasnt............................................man had a point.

Whether this project reaches fruition is doubtfull....Im not all that impressed with the grays......................over to you.

Nothing wrong with that as long as there's enough colour somewhere, and yours is looking good! If it doesn't reach fruition we'll be coming after you...

Back to the bench, now!

Knowing what the "old-un's" tea dance is like down my local one I'm not suprised

It certainly looks very interesting!

All that, and you have a gray mirage? Gray? LOL...looks to be interesting, and love the decals!

Don't forget, depending on what else you have on display, your grey Mirage could actually stand out in contrast.

Sure, if you have four shelves of grey on grey, it would be monotonous (SP?) but if your other subjects range from NMF, three-color camos, training planes, etc., a little grey here and there can actually be very classy.

Just my 2 cents. Now, don't quit.

Baz out. ^_^

The word Socotra was reminding me something but I did not know what... Google tells me this is an island near Yemen/Somalia, all right, but I thought this was a French company also, maybe SOciété de COnstruction et TRAnsport (Transport & Construction Co.)... Google does not found this one, maybe my memory was wrong

but what-if... the supervisor of workers patrolling in a supersonic Mirage to check everyone is working efficiently... what a threat for lazy ones, risking to be fired out

if the Mirage appears in a second and photograph the guilty one smoking a cigarette instead of doing his task
