Less than 6 months to Telford..............  ;D
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

I'm afraid I'm a non-starter for Coventry this year, not because my car's still in garage, I got it back about 1/2 hr ago.

I've had a REALLY bad asthma attack over the last few days and the medics have switched me to my ultra-strong pills and I'm not allowed to drive when I'm on them, sorry :(

Have a good time there anyway.

Take care Kit.  Be well.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I'm working on it, or the pills, all 7 of them in the morning (!), are working on it anyway.

Yeah, that's how I check if I've taken all of them, hook up a frequency analyser so it listens to me walking for a Go-NoGo assessment.  ;) ;D

Then there's the 4 more pills at night too!

Late notice like but.... in the finest traditions of Mr Steel Penguin there will be a supply of Cadbury's Chocolate Mini-Rolls at tomorrow's Coventry Show, even though he can't make it.

It's almost enough for me to charter a private ambulance and come over there!  ;)

Soooo...

The Lunar Rover will be making it's debute at Coventry tomorrow, but without an explanatory card. My printer packed up after one unsatisfactory run at about 9pm tonight. Replacing the black ink cartridge made it worse, so, on the assumption that the cartridge had gone dry or gummy from being stored too long, I dashed out, with 20 minutes to spare before they closed, and got a brand new genuine one (£ouch) from Argos.

The new one doesn't work either... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

My Merlin HH-71 will finally make its first appearance at a show. I also have a Norwegian AF DH Mosquito PR a/c and the all important Chocolate Mini Rolls.

Oh sorry to hear that H. I share your feelings. My printer normally runs out when I'm trying to do the Newsletter  :banghead:

Well that was a fun show, even if the bottom hanger did approach the condition of an oven at some point during the afternoon...
