A chap just keeps posting until the forum (or is it you ralph? ) magically adds said rank decoration under one's moniker, old bean

I reckon that ralphp is simply in charge of grounding, dishonourable discharges, Courts Marshall or the 303 round allocation to the firing squad.

Rob,
I have all the Hardware and retracts that came with the model as well as the canopy. They were all salvaged from my Sea Fury when it suffered its demise.
They are available for sale if you or any other member is interested.

Regards

Tony

Rock 'n Roll! She looks great!

I noticed the blurb under your GlueTube vid:

After three rebuilds of this aircraft she is finally flying right. A lovely sunny evening and managed to convince the wife to come down and film for me. Hope you like....In my opinion still one of the best looking warbirds around!

I hope the last bit was referring to the Fury and not the Missus!

But we wouldn't know anyway, even if you were, 'cos she's not in the film.

Ro.
