The Captain's Neverending Supply of Harriers

Quite a collection!

Thanks Mossie ! Of course there's nothing to report. The darn renos, hockey, neighbours and beer got in the way.

Then again, I did manage to find the canopies and frames as well as both decal sheets for the two GR.1s....that's something ? I guess....

Don't tell anybody I said this, as I'll deny it, and I wouldn't want to get stripped of my member title either.....but, I love the look of RAF roundels, especially on British aeroplanes. And heck, we had them for a lot of years too !

Thanks Nils ! They do look good eh ? Right at home in those colours. Hope to have them done this weekend.

Wasn't expecting the big bright roundels - where's me sunglasses

Looking good Capt

Captain Canada · April 29, 2014, 04:23:42 PM

...but they're trainers !

That, and they just didn't look right in leafy roundels. Heresy yes, but also truth.

Really liking them Captain!

Yourself and Nighthunter have got me on a harrier buzz now!
Cheers... Ray

Captain,
Seven Harriers, of various marks, winging their way to me at this very moment!
Just need to lay my hands on several cheap AS.365F Dauphin 2 'copters and i'm on the
way to start building Ireland's first aircraft carrier!
Cheers... Ray

Nice !

I've read thru a bunch of material you guys have sent me, as well as some internet research, and I'm revising my SlingSHAR plan to be Skyhook equipped. The alternative landing method with a drop wire and a pintle and airbags or whatever will be for emergency landings only.

More to come !

Skyhook! Yeaaah!

This is giving me ideas about Portuguese naval aviation...
