Is it FSN's front room?


Or Techno's lawn?

Ithorial's spare room?

Or is this secretly how Leon gets orders out so quickly?


Not a bad spot for lunch though!

Now that's what I call a nice day out :)

Looks like a good day out! Where is it? Duxford?
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Very good paintwork Lemmey. So realistic. Submit one or two of these and you'll win the 2017 painting competition no problem.

One comment, your Tornado paint looks a bit blurry.

:P


On the other hand ... where were you?

Looks like a great day out  :)

School trip to Duxford. :)
Best moment of the day, walking into the 1940 Battle Of Britain display and two of my girls saying "Look, it's a Messerschmitt 109!"

So proud!

I once showed my first wife a 1:3000 model of the Dreadnaught. She looked at it for a few seconds and remarked "The lookout must have been blinded by smoke. Why's the mast behind the funnel?" A point that historically the Admiralty didn't pick up until trials of the completed battleship.
Brainy woman, that was (and is).

He's a teacher. Lucky is pretty much a moveable feast in that profession - if you can still call it a profession , with all the regulations now governing every aspect, including, if you believe this morning's news, the necessity to "moderate a northern accent." Whatever 'king next!!!

Great day out. IWM Duxford is my favourite museum, closely followed by Bovington Tank Museum and The Fleet Air Arm Museum.

:) :)

Tank museum is a favourite of mine.

Last time I was down that way my godparents (obviously am going back a long time, as do you still have godparents when you're an adult?) took me to Southsea and area to go to the D-Day museum and then another place which had a Short Sunderland inside the building. Best part of the day, that, climbing inside the Sunderland and getting to sit at the controls up in the cockpit. I just can't remember what the museum was called, and it must have been in the Portsmouth or Southampton area as it was under an hours drive from the D-Day place.

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"
