Great news, I just got a part time job at the local hobby store! Alain

That could be good AND bad at the same time!  If it were me, I'd probably spend my whole paycheck on modelling stuff.

Lads,

I think its safe to say that this GB will go on in one form or another. I will keep this thread going until all my FAA aircraft have been built or until the webmasters shut this down. I would like to politely ask one thing.........can we keep the name? Its the name we started with and I'd like to keep it. 

I don't own this GB and it would not be as great as it is without all of you. I'd just like to keep the name if its OK with the rest of you........

I'm off to work for three days now.......have a chat about it and see what you think. If you really want to change the name.....fair enough. I'll stand by what the group would like to do. 

See you three days.

Darren.

I don't mind if we keep the name.  FAA could also mean the naval arm of other countries.

The only thing I know about bollocks is that it's the name of a Sex Pistols album.  So is that good or bad

Roy

Darren,

I'm absolutely fine with keeping the name, the FAAGB shall go on forever! 

Besides, the guy running it is cool and lets us post aircraft once in a while!

Frank, did you email the other set of pics?

Well it's off the school

Roy

Roy,

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

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)

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

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

Agreed!

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?

Yep!

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.

It'll be interesting to see a Corsair in a camoflage scheme for a change!

Roy,

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

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.......
