Rick Griewski Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Caterpillar Kev LOL. The Spitfire is indeed is an animal of sorts. A nice butterfly or moth should qualify it as a flying thing at least. (Aside thought, Is that is why R.J. did not like the name given to his plane? Hmmm...) Kev you realize that this thread could easily surpass the color blue GB in length about which ac is blue enough. And folks in our family here can be smart A**es.

OldTroll Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 The Air Ministry submitted a list of possible names to Vickers-Armstrong for the new aircraft, then known as the Type 300. One of these was the improbable Shrew. The name Spitfire was suggested by Sir Robert McLean, director of Vickers-Armstrongs at the time, who called his spirited elder daughter Annie Penrose "a little spitfire".[19] The word dates from Elizabethan times and refers to a fiery, ferocious type of person; at the time it usually meant a girl or woman of that temperament.[20] Previously the name had been used unofficially for Mitchell's earlier F7/30 Type 224 design. Mitchell is reported to have said it was "just the sort of bloody silly name they would choose".[21][22] Source - Wikipedia LSP_Paul and Rick Griewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) Yeh, but it's still an animal, so it's in the GB, if that is the one chosen of course. Edited December 12, 2017 by BradG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradleygolding Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 So what you are really saying is that, if you can't get a Spitfire into a Group Build then the build won't happen? Steve Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradleygolding Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) I actually quite like Animal Magnetism, although I have never participated in a GB! Steve Edited December 16, 2017 by Bradleygolding BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Brad, can someone have on build in Two group builds at once? I am getting ready to start a GSB jet with a bunch of bombs beneath it. Just curious if I have to chose either or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLWP Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Yeah, you're gonna have to choose I'm afraid - can't have it in both. Kev Out of interest, why not? Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Out of interest, why not? Richard For the same reason that you can't have the same build in a GB and the WiP forum concurrently. Part of it is that we have a policy of not allowing duplicate topic posts, but it's also partly out of a sense of fairness. I think it's a fair and reasonable expectation that entrants in a GB find a dedicated subject for that topic, rather than simply leveraging another build going on elsewhere. Otherwise, you're really only participating in the GB for the sake of it, rather than because the topic grabs you and you really want to get involved.

RLWP Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) So, it's mostly so you don't get the same content duplicated in multiple places - that makes sense to me <Richard makes a note to omit bombs from his Moth and ignore colour schemes for record attempts across Asia> Richard Edited December 16, 2017 by RLWP Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 So, it's mostly so you don't get the same content duplicated in multiple places - that makes sense to me Richard Pretty much. If taken to its logical extreme, we could end up with 2 GB topics that overlap 100%, with exactly the same builds entered into each. Which would be utterly pointless, as you can imagine.
