Should we make it a rule that any build done for this GB MUST be accompanied by the singing/whistling/humming og the Damusters theme tune???

All together now naaaaaaaa na nanananaa


I know I can't sing and I never brought a coat

Binbrook is smack bang in the middle of them, on top of a big hill.

Hmm! but what exactly do you term "a big hill"   ;D  50 feet, 100 feet ?

Big by Lincolnshire standards, small by Swiss ;)

He! He!  360 feet --- anyway, even Swiss hills are small compared to the Rockies where I am ----  :wacko:  Where I go trail riding in the 'hills' just west of us, I can go up a 1000 feet or more.

Well, wouldn't 1000ft make it a mountain? :unsure:

Not here Nev --- foothills is what they call them around here, then you have the mountains proper.  There's some wicked dirtbike trails out there only I'm getting a bit too much out of condition to do them these days.

many years ago i recall seeing in an old magazine (possibly 'Model Aircraft', and pre 1965) a conversion article using the first issue Airfix Lancaster into a 'dambuster' type based upon information avaliable at that time (remember the 'bouncing bomb' itself wasnt declassified til i think the early 70's!)

nothing much of interest there one might think but the difference with this one, and an ideal candidate for 'what-if' was that the bomb was in the form of a 'saucer shape' ie for 'skipping' across the water's surface

ill keep looking through my magazine piles to find the issue (its there 'somewhere'!) altho hopefully someone out there might have a more organised cataloguing system and find it first?

cheers, Joe

Ian (lincolnlanc on the ATF forum) built this Lanc as what appeared in the first Dambuster movie:
