Canute Posted June 16, 2022 Share #903 Posted June 16, 2022 I got to fly on the wing of the RAF version of the Buccaneer; I think 208 Squadron, at a Red Flag in the late 70s.

AJohnson Posted June 16, 2022 Share #904 Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Another great study. The Buccaneer is one of my favourite Cold War jets, not a beauty in the “Spitfire” sense, but nevertheless a great looking aircraft especially when going like the clappers at wave/treetop height! 😎 Edited June 16, 2022 by AJohnson Canute, mtaylor and lmagna 3 Quote Andrew Current builds:- HM Cutter Trial - Vanguard models (1/64), HMAV Bounty - Caldercraft (1/64), Hawker-Typhoon-1b-"Car-Door" - Airfix (1/24) Completed (Ship):- "Nisha" - Vanguard Models (1/64), HMS Orestes (Mars) - Caldercraft (1/64), HM Cutter Sherbourne - Caldercraft (1/64), TSS Earnslaw - Paper Shipwright (1/250), Puffer "Starlight" - Paper Shipwright (1/250) Completed (Non-Ship):-Blackburn Buccaneer S.2C - Airfix (1/48), Bristol Beaufort - Airfix (1/72), Mosquito B.XVI - Airfix (1/72), , Sea-Harrier-FRS1 - Airfix (1/72), Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat - Airfix (1/24), De Havilland Chipmunk T.10 - Airfix (1/48), Flamborough Head Lighthouse - Paper Shipwright (1/250) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtdoramike Posted July 14, 2022 Share #908 Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) My daughter painted this for me when she was 9 years old. I know it isn't museum worthy, but it is priceless to me and I have it proudly displayed in my workshop(s) for the past 30 years. When ever she stops by, she says "I can't believe you kept that old thing after all these years" I tell her, it can't be bought with money marbles or chaulk.

Roger Pellett Posted July 21, 2022 Share #916 Posted July 21, 2022 Jim, Re: The Trunk Ship In 1890, Duluth, MN ship captain Alexander began building ships in the Duluth Harbor to his patented “Whaleback” design. To promote his company he decided to send a Whaleback Steamship with a cargo of grain across the Atlantic Ocean to England. The ship named the Charles W. Wetmore sailed across the Great Lakes through the Saint Lawrence River Rapids and arrived safely in England. This strange looking vessel, seaworthy enough to cross the Atlantic was a sensation with the British Public. Naval Architects, while less impressed examined the ship and the Doxford Shipyard produced an Improved Whaleback Ship that became known as The Turret Ship. Over 170 Turret Ships were eventually built. They were especially popular with ship owners in trades requiring requiring passage through the Suez Canal as their narrow weather decks took advantage of a loophole in the way that the Canal calculated tolls. A year after launch of the first Turret Ship, a competitor named Ropner built a Trunk Ship copying many of the features of the Turret Ship. In fact the designs were so similar that Ropner was sued by Doxford for patent infringement and the register documents for at least one Trunk Ship described her as a Turret Ship. The Turret Ship and the Trunk ship were the first of several designs of “Novel Ships” built by British shipbuilders between the 1890’s and the standardized designs of World War I. This all began with an obscure shipbuilder in Duluth, MN. Roger Canute, mtaylor, lmagna and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
