Thanks all you mayhemers incl VC (Who lives just a stone throw distance from me  :-) )

British Humour ? I am used to, good interaction we had with the Hawk and Typhoon guys, often (whenever they were here), last i heard, Indians in UK have been given Prima Nocta  {-) ,

Neil ! On a model aeroplane, esp high wngers, rubber band spreads the lift load evenly on the wing unlike a dowel and a bolt, our mainline fighters are Jaguars & Hawks, so i need to ask you all was it rubber (pun intended  :D ). That's on the lighter side, in real there are a lot of rubber used in an aeroplane, from mask to canopy seal to hydraulic pipelines to plethora of other stuff. I wonder what would we have become if there wasn't any rubber %%

I am going to take some time before venturing onto making model boats, though i sail (being born and brought up near sea and all), enterprise class mostly (at the staff college and in Mumbai), Boat Modelling is going to be challenge as i see, VC has promised to help me out and in return i am going to fly his mothballed aeroplanes  :police: .


That was last Xmas at my home town Mumbai (erstwhile Bombay, Darn!! who changed the name  >>:-( )





PS
can anyone tell me,  What day is it and 5 + 6 - 3 = ?  %%

Welcome, I am a newbie myself-never done a working model plane or boat-prefer static models. But, you never know, I may venture into the world of working boats...it will of course go wrong and sink  :}

The frigate is in low gear going up that Indian Ocean hill, hence the blue smoke/heat haze. %)

Looks like an old Blackwood class to me, but sure these were all decommisioned in the 70's? Saying that, the prow looks different, could be a Dehli class destroyer.
Beer, oysters...you can really go off folk  ok2

Far from certain but it looks like a Shivalik-class frigate to me.
