Geoff S Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Just noticed this threadso I thought I'd upload this photo of dinghy racing I took whilst on rescue duty. It's quite hard to get decent pictures of sailing if you're actually racing and this is the best I ever managed. It's a Scorpion on Foremark reservoir where Burton-on-Trent SC club race. It's the class my wife and I used to compete in.. Taken 1989, I think. It was my PC wallpaper for years. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Robson Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Hi Matt, it is 0gauge, I took the hobby up when my wife's condition worsened and she needed more care so I gave up model flying. She passed away 2 year ago and I returned to flying, since then the loco's have taken a back seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Parker Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Hi All, A puzzle for you. I noticed this in my garden the other day, I cannot give an explanation for it there are no overhanging trees or anything above it can anyone give a thought as to how this happened. The garden is enclosed. Regards Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Robson Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Frightening but it could be Ice of an aeroplane which would normally melt before hitting the ground . I remember a hail storm in Shropshire early one morning where the ice landing on our garden were as big as choc bars, but there was lots of them.

Eric Robson Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Not to worry Ken, a lot of loco kits are made from White metal and need to be assembled with epoxy resin, I did notice the realty well built tank but the poster name did not register in my old age brain. I have to take my hat off to the skills of some of the plastic kit builders I always got too much glue on. Eric r. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
