saturday evening presentation to F.O Kyte
Looking through these photos is making me wish Marion (the Lady Wife) and I had stayed on for dinner and this presentation - we will stay for dinner next year.
Do I also see a couple of photos of Tim ... Holding a SoG ship?!
Definitely not Barney! Move away from the screen now. Do not look back.Originally Posted by Aussietonka

Yes Sir. I have also not been on the Spitfire Kentish Ale tonight so that's another no-brainer.Definitely not Barney! Move away from the screen now. Do not look back.
Turn off your computer.
But ... I could still swear that I've seen at least one photo of Tim holding what looks like an SoG ship.
DISCLAIMER: I have been up since 07:30 this morning when some thoughtful chap threw me out of bed over an Airbus A330-200 training matter. So I may be fatigued / hallucinating!
Definately NO SAILS, probably, maybe perhaps. All though it could be a mirage!
See you on the Dark Side......
Unlikely, Ares haven't started a modern aircraft range yet
Mind you we do have one unofficialmodern jet knocking around the skies of the Aerodrome - until October 10th / 11th this year at which point it will officially become a vintage jet!
So this is definitely not a photo of Tim holding an SoG ship then ...
I should have gone to Specsavers!

That is a beautiful model of a Sunderland.
By the look on his face I think he is trying very hard to come up with something nice to say. (or not)
Mind you we do have one unofficial

I think all I finally managed was "I'll get all the bally lot of you!" ......................................or some such
Actually Tim, with your usual great sensitivity and charm, you were a lot more polite than that old chap.I think all I finally managed was "I'll get all the bally lot of you!" ......................................or some such
What you mumbled, sotto voce, sounded distinctly like" It looks very lonely on it's own with no sails to keep it company".
I definitely heard the no sails bit.

Glad someone took some photos, and what good ones they were. Thanks Marion
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings

NO SAILS!!!!
Take it that's going to find itself drydocked then for the rest of it's lifetime ...
It can happily and quietly turn itself into a symbol of cameradery and popularity - and a memory of what really was a crackin' weekend
As I have repeatedly stated on several other threads, it was awarded as a PRIZE, and will therefore be kept as a TROPHY, and not played with (unless my local group ropes me into another Sails game one Wednesday evening....................Take it that's going to find itself drydocked then for the rest of it's lifetime ...
