Before I answer you, I’d like to know. Over in Blighty there it’s what?- 7.00 am.
Whats on the fire?
Eggs. Bangers. Tomatoes. Toast. Coffee?
Currently just coming up 0900, but yes, about 0700 when I posted my answer. Breakfast was English muffins and taramosalata, with several large cups of Earl Grey tea.
I don’t know of a commercial kit for the exact mark of this a/c, although in its later versions it’s been the subject of at least three or so good runs of models.
No and no.
Ah well. Early 1950s US single-seat jet aircraft, with heavily-framed canopy. Probably not many produced. The search continues.
Nice sunny day here, stiff onshore breeze. Good day for the annual Weymouth Kite Festival:
Yep, I do believe he got it. A quick Google search brought up the image. It’s “Tex” Johnson in the picture, the pilot who rolled the 707 prototype. Good call mate!
No to the Goblin , yes to the Demon. Go for it, buddy.
We had bacon, waffles, blueberries on same and a banana-strawberry-yogurt smoothy.
Yours T had coffee and a scone.
She did really well, she’s a smart kid but dyslexic so the 50% extra time accommodation meant she was in the test for 7 1/2 hours. I’m having a few with her and watching “Band of Brothers” which she picked for a Dad bond moment.
But the Romans gave up when they had to build Hadrians wall, because they ran into some real men who liked their Haggis for breakfast. No Kipper smoothies, thanks.
On the opening credits for the TV programme The West Wing, there is a brief shot of a US combat aircraft taking off. In the earlier series, it was a USAF machine, in the later, a USN/ USMC one. Neither were in service at the time.
Name (both of) those planes! And no, VC-25A isn’t one of the answers. There is an image of Air Force One in the opening sequences, but she’s not taking off, and she isn’t a combat aircraft. Nor is Marine One.
Plus, of course, the VC-25A is still in service. Bonus question - name all the countries, apart from the USA, which use a specific B747, as opposed to one hired for the occasion, as transport for their head of state and/ or government.
FROG didn’t just do the Victor, Chris. I have all three 1:96 V-bombers to prove it. They might be worth something someday, unless Revell or someone else re-pops them.
Japan does, I’ve seen theirs, and I believe the Saudi’s operate a very large and very richly furnished 747. Wonder where they got the money for that? [;)]
