Likewise.....

[Mossie]

Same reason I'm not biting unfortunately.  I have a kit to do for my brother for Christmas (might have to be his birthday the way things are going), the Secret Santa GB & the Let it Snow GB all for the early part of the year & the speed I build, I probably won't get all those done either!

[thedarkmaster]

Still one kit .........any takers.......come on a kit is for life and not just for Chirstmas,........ it needs a home...it needs to be loved and cherished but more importantly it needs to be built.

Tim,
I could have my arm twisted but since I live in the US, shipping could cost you a pretty penny (or whatever you say in England).  If someone on your side of the pond wants it first, I would send it to them.

[thedarkmaster]

No worries mate, alreadt sending one to the US so it wont make a differance, pm me your address and i'll get it off to you asap.

F16, Angolan service San Sebastian Airbase Mexico 1991

to help man the aircraft supplied by their "fraternal" allies the combined Mexican revolutionaries often had to use "adviser" or "volunteer" pilots in their aircraft.

One country which helped to supply pilots was Angola whom also sent a re-enforced motor rifle regiment and 3 A-A-A battries, all of which was to be paid for after the conflict, with revenues from Mexican oil reserves.

However the entire infastructure of the oil fields was deveststed by the retreating US backed govenment forces and it ws projected that the area would produce no profit until 1998 at the earliest.

Angola was unhappy with such a situation and demanded payment in kind, the only way for this to be acheived was for the new Mexican  govenment to transfer some of the not incosiderable amount of war making equipment left behind by the US departure to Angola, and so Angola found itself in possesion of 12 F16 fighters enough to operate one squadron. however they never touched down in Angola as the South African Govenment and the New Commonwealth would consider this an act of war and respond accordingly.

Based at San Sebastion Airbase the F16's where the apple of the new regime and the Angolan govenments eye, often in the international press and often seen in prominent places in parades and exersises, they however suffered with serviceability and acomplished nothing at all during the 91 disaster apart from attracting US missiles onto the airbase,


































Got this aircraft from Chadders, it was in the cupboard at work........all unloved and alone, .........he said i could have it and as he had said mi imagination wasn't so much wilg as feral i just had to make the F16 go to the weirdiest ooperator i could.......sorry mate
