Hey, men !

I just discovered on my PC and my smartphone "Flightradar24" ! It's astonishing to have a global vision of the world aerial traffic ! On my PC it's coupled with Google Earth and permits the external flight panoramic vision with all plane infos! I'm bluffed !! Try the site flightradar24.com if you didn't yet!

Regards!

Hi, mates!

This hard decision, taking in account the substantial decreasing of my dedicated money allocations (for collecting, lol !) was to choose between the HM 1/48 Douglas Bader's Spitfire Va and Johnny Johnson's Spitfire IX models...

I eventually ordered the Spit IX, as The Spit Va D-B has no real external differences with the 3 Spits I I own yet, and its camo is again the initial Green/brown pattern the 3 models I got are in !!…

Yes, good last flight to California, Endeavour!

The last and most improved of the US Space Shuttles. Thanks to all Crew and team whose duty made progress science and Human Being Story.

From Enterprise to Endeavour, Challenger and Columbia, we shared joy and sorrow and are proud and confident in the Future.

Hello, all!

I just received the 2 books I ordered to Erik Mombeeck, the Belgian specialist of the Luftwaffe units diaries and History:

The 1st book is the Vol.III of the Jagdgeschwader 2 "Richthofen" history told by the detail as a march diary.

It deals with the 1942 year by the continuing fights with RAF and the first ones with US bombers over Europe, the North Africa Theater Of Operations, as some JG2 Staffeln were affected there, and the partly change…

Hello, all! I spent one more time 4 days of my family holidays in Amiens Hospital, contracting again a septicemy linked to my polikystic kidneys !!! I just returned home this afternoon. My models, books and dvds are in their places! Keeping on !! 

So long, Neil. Have a good trip among the stars. You made me dream of the Human Being tomorrows. Many thanks for that.

I'm back from ab Vendean fortnight where I spent some relaxation time on the shore !!

Bonjour to all of you!

Jeff

Hey, m8s!

I'm leaving you for a fortnight in Vendée (province just under the Bretagne on the Atlantic coast). I'll be back the 18th of August to keep on polluting this site !!!

Take care all, my faraway friends!!

Hello, folks !

I was offered some models sold to the passengers in the planes by two of the low-cost Companies operating at Beauvais-Tillé airport: RyanAir and WizzAir.

Here is a photo showing a B737-800 of the RyanAir (Eire Republic) side by side with an Airbus A320-200 of the WizzAir (Hungary) at…

Hello, all members of the "Military Vehicles group" and AFVs amateurs!

We all noticed that we invaded the MAC site, especially these last posts (most of time: me and some others -LOL) !!! In an attempt to free the Airplane collectors, may I suggest you to post your photographs directly in the Military Vehicles Group posts or discussions.? For those who wants to write "Historical" posts, you can use the "Historical articles" forum as usual.

Could it be possible…

Hi, mates!

I just bought at minus 70% (Summer discounts in France !!! 5.79€ instead of 15.99€) a 1/720 Revell model of the well known Zeppelin LZ 129 Hindenburg, who burst into flames at Lakehurst the 6th of May 1937.

It should not be a great difficulty for a lazy papi (skill 3). I will send you photos as soon I finish this model ref. 04802.

As usual, Swastikas are absent from the decals but I easily will use the ones I got on special…

1/48 Franklin Mint Model, not easily customized with BD-48-06 Berna decals set - Hawker Hurricane Mk IIb (Mk I ?) "BG707 / black 1 -Theodore" of Groupe de Chasse GC I "Alsace", Forces Aériennes Françaises Libres (FAFL) - and coming from…

Hi, m8s!

I bought yesterday by my Newspapers shop this Altaya model:

It's an old Dassault Aviation jet: a Super Mystère SMB2 of the Escadrille de Chasse EC 3/12 "Cornouaille", based at the Base Aérienne BA 103 "Commandant René Mouchotte", Cambrai-Epinoy, France,1974. Look at the historical…

Hello, my friends!

Though room, economical situation and wife's will try together to stop my collector fever, I succeeded in ordering by Antics UK Ltd the 1st HM 1/48 F4U-1A diecast model (HM-HA8201):

Ira Kepford's own "white 29" Corsair, belonging to VF 17 "Jolly Roger", on who he totalized 16…
