enjoy your stay and hope you get used to the brithish humour shown on here!!! :embarrassed: :embarrassed: :embarrassed:

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 >>:-( )

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 old guy in the hat looks sea-sick.

That's got to be the happiest smile I've seen on Mayhem for months!

:o ...Martin...can you not see the exhaust haze from the GE250LM gas turbine on the Indian 5200 tonne frigate on the horizon? >>:-( ....maybe Augustine is happy just to be heading back for his airport ....Derek {-)
-
The frigate is in low gear going up that Indian Ocean hill, hence the blue smoke/heat haze. %)
-
is that frigate originally british ?
we sailed till late in the night, beer, oysters and heptrs overhead, one of the fine sailing nights.

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
Si:)
-
at 42 you need oyster, except if you are going to Delhi via Agra %%
-
Far from certain but it looks like a Shivalik-class frigate to me.
