I suppose they are bigger with all that dirt on.. :worried: :lol:

Have a look at the phot in this link. It's far from conclusive but it does look that they are black and not dirty.. see what you think :)

Btw.. intro in morse code is VVV VVV VVV GKYV GKYV. I'd have thought the VVV's should have been followed by DE (this is) but there you go ;-)

Is this the Eagle that was originally an Alphasim project?

It looks great and will be a great addition!

Bu&&ered if I can tell either way Dave - I need a bigger telly; either that or a magnifying glass. 'Tis true to say though that the aerials do look much less obtrusive in the photos than in the sim version. I do know that on the smaller stuff in the 70's the aerials are the same grey as the hull. BTW, I can't remember are we aerials, or is we antenna? (antenni perhaps for more than one).

Kind Regards,
Chris

That's what I thought and yes I do remember a strong injunction not to call 'em antenna unless pain was more of a friend than a foe :lol: . Another BTW, have you have ever heard of Evernesence (spelling?), one of their tracks has feint morse running through it, sounds like about 20-22 wpm but my hearing is not what it was (bakerlight headphones were a bu&&er!) so I can't quite make it out. A free copy of FD5 for the first man to crack it ;-)

Kind Regards,
Chris

I have not heard that particular track but a quick Google search came up with the following info...

http://www.netmusiccountdown.com/inc/ne ... hp?id=6106

...now whether it is actual morse or just noise is open to debate of course.

I know I have heard several tracks which contain real morse code and the local radio station here is frequently playing a track with morse in the intro, choruses and ending but my morse reading skills are so rusty these days I have not been able to decode it.

Hmmmm.....maybe I should break out all my keys and my oscillator and get back up to speed again!

Ah yes.. My Immortal :rock: I think I'd already considered that as music rather than morse. :lol:
