TonyT, you forgot the 'T' cut...........................

No Maru, due to my birthday party being dragged, kicking and screaming! to tomorrow. I don't think it's quite the ticket for me to be down there and everybody else up here........then again!!! Invited Harvey and Clunk with +1s, 'cos their closer than you! Na Na nana Na!!!!

Jennings, we have a very broad Church, Orthodox,Reformed or Traditional, we happy for everybody to come along!

Hi Mike, and thanks. We know that most of the PRU squadrons were tasked to Coastal Command at one time or another, but always remained under PRU control. There were squadrons of Bomber Command seconded to Coastal and FAA squadrons. Add in the USN and USAAF squadrons, though these were similar to the PRU, as in orders and tasking lay with their own control set up, they just used the bases, one of the 'favorites' being St. Eval in Cornwall. Will we be seeing you at Telford? Paul

Cheers Iain, /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ wot Kagemusha said, innit!

Hi all, Latest update for all "Kipper Fleet" fans............ The reformed Coastal Command SIG WILL have it's first outing at this years (2017) SMW. I have been told that we have table space allocated, so if you want to dust of some of your kits and bring 'em along, we'll be very glad to see/meet you. I'll keep you up to speed as we receive further information. This will be particularly relevant to NON IPMS members, as those of you already with IPMS(UK) will receive time scales and floor plans via the 'in house' magazine. The Coastal Command SIG will remain on the UAMF site (http://uamf.org.uk/index.php) so anybody that has been putting off contacting me (you KNOW who you are![Maru ]) you now have NO excuse!! All the best, Paul

Rob, impugn away! My Dad fought under Auchinleck and Montgomery................guess which one he prefered! The Auck was honest, sadly Churchill wasn't in listening mood, so................Monty got the job............. time scale was about the same.................... If Patton had have had a little more Monty, and Monty had have had a lot more Patton.............. when could the war in the ETO realistically have ended? (answers, on a post card, addressed to the dark side of the moon!) Paul PS Bill for hijacking your thread

G'day Gazza, knew you where in Oz, so exchange rate is around Aus.$1.80 to a £1. Know when the original Klear (other names available!) was on sale over here, it was under £3 a bottle so double it and your not too far out, so Aus.$6 add 30% for shipping etc. still only Aus.$8. Aus.$9 FOR IPA? somebody's havin a laugh!! Dale, sod it, just use varnish!!! Paul

Have a good one!

Dale, that's bloody expensive! over $22 a 900gram bottle? Shouldn't pay more than around the $8 - $10 mark, try your local supermarket, household / floor cleaning isle, it's only floor polish! Paul

Richard, wishing April a speedy recovery, and more importantly, no lasting psychological injury. Nobody should have to witness the likes of this, it's bad enough for trained personel, but NOT children. Paul

Jeff, there is nothing to understand. It was an pure act of terrorism and produced what was intended, panic and fear......................IN THE SHORT TERM..............it won't help at all in the long term, but the terrorists fail to see this, and won't until ALL even handed people around the world, say with a single voice..............ENOUGH As the Bandit has said 'a Silver Lining'.............populated by ALL races, creeds, and colours. Thoughts and prayers are with those who are in pain, have suffered life changing injuries, to those who have lost, may your God walk with you at this time............................. We are ALL the same on this lump of spinning rock called Earth, we SHOULD all breath, walk, talk, laugh,cry......... after all we ALL bleed the same colour.............................. Maru, namaste to you, your Mom and to all at the schools and the mosque who show solidarity with their fellow human beings. Proud of ya Guys............................ Paul

Too bloody right! Particularly since I found out Lemmy was a modeller, and non too shabby! (for an encore, he bought plants 'back from the dead'!)

Good luck with the new venture Kev, though I doubt you'll need it! Paul
