He looks a handsome old chap Mr Z

I believe you travel a day earlier than me so I will miss the pleasure of a genteel convoy to Mecca la Sarthe

Mayhap another year

I hope the repairs go well

Looks so good after that I'm thinking of staying another week or two

Well I'm thinking it SWMBO isn't...

😀

I'll see if I can get down to your patch to give it a bit of a sweep out of all the old bottle tops before you get in


or maybe I will just have to sit and chill after running the gauntlet of the A woteveritis

See you soon

venerable and esteemed warrior does this mean we have to seek you out in the piney woods

Or will you come to us and chat over a cold libation?

Whichever it will be great to see you (yes and those hoary old colleagues of yours) again

Cor

just think

I'll be queueing for the ferry this time in a fortnight at Newhaven for the overnight

see y'all there

Hi Barry, I don't think there is any dementia round here yet (when there is it is bound to be me first   ) Rusty has highlighted a special paint scheme that was flown on one of the 617 sqn aircraft in 2013

No more than that, I think the scheme is available for model-makers in 1/72 scale

Very striking or maybe even awe inspiring but as it was on the aircraft Rusty is entirely blameless


(This time...) 

Cars?

Cars??

You mean you missed them?

Ah well...

😂

Rusty is that a USAF emblem on the 35?

If possible a single small roundel might be nice mate

But whatever I'm in as you know
b

I bring my own

As Mr Zarse will testify

Almost certainly...

Suddenly there's an even better reason to get my backside over the pond

A Rusty Tee to celebrate a great event

Beautiful shirt Russ, I suppose that counts as 'same old...' 

Same old Rusty, brilliant art on the shirt of the day everywhere

If there's any spare I know a few who'd like that in the wardrobe

Have a great time, see you next year in that dusty French place huh?

I'm on the Wednesday night boat from Newhaven

Arrive on BN early afternoon then probably

Shopping, must remember to get the beer in 

Oh blimey that's news that does get better

Hoorah

Keep up the 'getting better' stuff Tom

That's a good idea Gary

We could maybe pick it up off Mart after he's done 'caring' for her a bit

Maybe he'll care for the little weldy bits we know need caring for...




Conversely I could use a small workshop for a month or two and sort Gaps AND Lara's bits of off kilter tinware

Anyone know of a free to use shop near Sutton Co'field?

Well, you have to ask don't you

There's to be a few bob more from me, sort it tomorrow and it's well worth it

No probs getting on Poole/Cherbourg today

See you over there
