Great job, Rob! I honestly don't know how you deal with those TEENIE TINY parts!

I have to admit Chuck that it gets more difficult with every passing year. Te eyes are not improving with the passing of time.

I completely missed this when it was shown, but Mrs K had recorded it and I watched it last night. If you pilots for Taranto get the chance do try to watch it. It is enthralling.

Warplane Workshop, 11 April 2024, More4, “The Last Biplanes”
In the documentary series Warplane Workshop, viewers are taken behind the scenes of the challenging and passionate work of restoring historic warplanes to their former glory.
The episode “The Last Biplanes,” airing on More4 on Thursday, 11 April, focuses on the efforts to return two rare biplanes to the sky. These iconic aircraft hold significant historical value, and their restoration is a labour of love for the dedicated engineers and pilots involved.
At 100 years old, David Berry is one of the last surviving wartime airmen who flew the fragile Fairey Swordfish biplane, which played a crucial role in sinking Hitler’s Bismarck battleship. Engineers from the charity Navy Wings are racing against time to restore this rare biplane so that David can see it take flight once more.
Simultaneously, 250 miles away, another team is determined to make the US Navy’s last biplane fly again. This episode showcases the passion and dedication of those who strive to preserve aviation history and honour the legacy of these remarkable aircraft.
Warplane Workshop provides a unique insight into the world of aircraft restoration, combining engineering, history, and the enduring fascination with iconic warplanes.

Exactly why I flagged the series in the O Club at the beginning of the month. An absolutely fascinating series showing off the good work being done out there to keep and get these old war horses flying again. Well worth a watch.

After alot of unwanted jobs over the last few days I finally got back onto my model.
Today I started work on one of the bridges connecting the island to the mainland.
Having obtained a set of bridge sections from Brigade Models, I next sorted out a set of magnetic plates as used for holding badges to clothing.
Then I vandalized them.
Next I also vandalized the bridge sections.
What I did with them I will try and get completed for tomorrow.

Incredible amount of work Rob
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Not yet as much as for Dubrovnik Chris. However, once I add the other coast, the Shipyard down the coast anf the oil depot it should be as much work. Copenhagen last year was a holiday picnic in comparison.

Thanks for the rep Craig, and your kind remarks chaps.
The pilots of the FAA are certainly going to have a target rich environment.

The bases for the airplanes will have an interesting time with that dockyard.
So how many books are in your personal library?
No problems at all really. Just replace the model with a card replica if an aircraft passes over it.
