fesm_ndt Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Well done Adrian , great thread ! I was wondering what you will be converting to make the new Lancasters required for the new Dambusters film being made soon !:-D Given Adrian's recent threads and rebuilding finesse perhaps he could use this as a starting point for a Lancaster replica :-D [ATTACH]21895[/ATTACH] I think that movie is on tv here this week.... will have to have a look now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveo578 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 fesm_ndt he could use this as a starting point for a Lancaster replica I'm sure he could make a good replica of a Lanc from empty cans of Bud. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesm_ndt Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I'm sure he could make a good replica of a Lanc from empty cans of Bud. :-D I agree, but I couldn't find a more buggered aeroplane at short notice :-D at least Bud is a better starting point than Millers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 The King of Jordan is building a Tank Museum, he is a tankie himself. There's a lot of money going into that project from what I've been told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcspool Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Adrian, Thanks for posting the story plus pictures. But you left out the pictures of the Czech student nurses. . . The film is shown here nearly every week too. I sometimes watch the first couple of minutes, have a chuckle and then turn it over! For those of you who have missed in the Tiger Appeal post, see below for a YouTube link: Thank you Adrian. Of course I had the benefit of actually seeing you work on the conversion. You, my friend, are one of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Engineers. For those who do not yet know what Adrian and I are talking about, see this Youtube clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mOoPM4RU7s. Like Maurice says, the tracks are the give away!

agripper Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 If anyone needs to use my BARav , they can have free use of it , so long as all expences are paid and I get to drive if on the beach. Anyone doing a Falklands or Gulf war film or doc. They can fill the tank with 5 star whilst there are at it. Sorry can dream!!!:wow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
