Yes my pick might've been to just leave English Electric alone to get on with it! Always available for a little misty-eyed nostalgia, Nick, thanks for the reading pointer. I've also been advised to look up Antony Beevor and get Normandy out of my system by reading everything he had to say about WW2.

Great post Charl. I agree with you about Montgomery. His next mistake was Operation Market Garden. He thought that the operation would shorten the war. It didn't and was a very costly operation.[/quote The Market Garden plan was fine, it was the fact that the 1st Airborne landed on top of an SS Panzer division that just happened to be there. That and the Americans failing to secure Nijmegan so that XXX Corps could roll on through in a timely manner. The real error though was the fact that the Allies didn't attempt to push up through Holland earlier. Horrocks and his Corps were stopped from...

Wife 1….Simmer 0. :D Indeed CP .... :rolleyes:

Thanks gents ....handsome he was, and big at his peak deeknow. Mike, evidently he was a silver tabby.

Have the book....its a great read. RIP both of them.

:clap:

Indeed it does mate. I comment when I can, but it seems to be awfully quiet.

Deeknow, most come from Booktopia in Australia. If you spend $99, shipping is free...not saying that I spend that much...okay, sometimes I do <_<

Thanks for the reply deeknow and CP ...v5 it will be.

Australia's deadliest creatures is a bit, well ...rough around the edges :rolleyes:

:hesaid: It's nice to see the banner still has an embedded link to Steam/AFS4, but how did it get there?

What's going on here? The latest US attempt seems to have tipped over, Maybe it had a drop o' the cratur? :D :rolleyes:

The migration is going well, the one I was most worried about was DCS, but it turned out to be the least problematic. The main issue at the moment is all the "sideline" stuff ...like getting Picasa to play the game...but Photoshop is happy with the upgrade. IL2 will update tonight.....did I mention that DCS took over 12 hours to reinstall. A zillion Gigabytes coming down at 1.2 MB a second. Will have P3D up and running tomorrow hopefully.

Wow, what a great looking model. A great Xmas present. What scale? Its 1/200 CP , Just the right size for some good detail, but wont take up much space. I'll post a shot of Jonos Air new Zealand collection ...you will be impressed ...and then there's Chris and his fleet :ph43r:

Very late Dec '22 and all on '23 was rough for us, and continues to be so. Sincerely hope that '24 is better and we can get back on top of things. Current estimates have us getting back 'on top' financially by year end '24 as long as we have no other major surprises. Happy New Year everyone and may you be blessed for 2024 and have every success and happiness :)

Yes! Not least because the 1kW heater posing as my flightsim PC really came into its own, driving the wannabe pilot away, into cooler environs!
