Fleet Air Arm Group Build

Gents,

It's the weekend!  Time to sit back, relax and enjoy.  A toast!

So she gets new jewelry, he gets the "gratitude", and you get to play on their playground?!?

Gentlemen, this is what's known as a win win win situation! Right on! Have a great time!

Thanks Roger!

We made a custom ring for the Commander out there to give his wife, and I asked him if I could come out and play some time.  Tomorrow is the day!  Ican't wait, it's gonna be so much fun!

And here's to the Cap'n!!!!!!

So why hang with the pilots, Frank? Is it an airshow goin on out there? Either way, i'm looking forward to seeing the photos! Enjoy your days off!!!!

That's right!  Well, since it IS Friday in some parts of the world, the FIRST round of rations shall be distributed now!

Roy-

Here is some info on Corsair colors for you.  I will pull down the Corsair book I have later and see what it says specifically for FAA birds.  Meanwhile, here's the page I have for you:

Corsair colors

Gents,

I am off for the next four days (some of my last until after Christmas!) so will be putting in lots of time at the bench.  I will also do my best to keep a weather eye on the FAAGB!  Tomorrow, I am heading out to hang with the F-16 pilots of the 176th FS, 115 FW here in Madison.  I'll take lots of pics, promise!

Frank in charge of the Rum?!?!?!?

What color is the inside of the gear bays and the cowl on the FAA Corsair?

Roy

I have the weekend off as always  So can I have the rations of those who work

Roy

I'll drink to that .

Regards,  Rick

Right! 

Lads, let's keep this ship in tip-top shape while the Cap'n away.  For that, there will be EXTRA rum rations for all! 

That is all...

Guys,

I thought I'd have the weekend off this week. Unfortunately, my C/O has just told me I'm needed for the next seven days...........

Ho-Hum. The things I do for England.....................

Right! Lt.Daywalker will be your Capt. for the next seven days and will issue the weekly Rum ration this weekend.  

Frank, look after our lads.

Heres the Rum locker.......

Roy,

can't wait to see your Corsair coming together-nice choice of markings too!

WAIT DARREN!!!!! YOU FORGOT THIS!!!!!!!

Lads,

I'm really glad you want to keep the GB name.

Thanks.

Now, its late and I've been on the go for 36hours. See you tomorrow.

Yep!

Boy, I get more excited about this gift exchange every day!  I just know it's gonna be torture not opening it.

Agonizing, isn't it?

Oh yeah I forgot, I'm happy to keep the FAA name as is.

Agreed!

I've got to admit I'm kind of excited about the whole Secret Santa thing.  Normally when my wife or kids get me a kit as a present it's me that does the buying so the surprise factor is just not there if you know what I mean.

I will definitely keep my gift closed until Xmas day so that for once I can get a nice surprise when I open it.

Cheers

Hey all! Just like to let the group know that i recieved a box from *********** today for the GB Secret Santa. Still wrapped up and everything, and now i've got and on each shoulder arguing whether to open early or not!

   But to ***********, just a heads up. It arrived safe, sound, and in one piece. (ok, well maybe not in ONE piece. After all, it is a kit)

Roy,

Part 1 was sent a little bit ago, and part 2 is on it's way right now.

Frank, did you email the other set of pics?

Well it's off the school
