This was a surprise at the time as all operations by BKS Britannia had been wound down and the aircraft permanently wfu

Then this single machine was overhauled and put back into service for one year due to capacity shortages.

Hello all you englishmen,

When this happens...

(Tony writes)
Leif...you still interested in what you wanted over at the pond mate....

(Leif replies)
yep , but remember what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas ;)

- then I'm lost. I simply don't understand what you mean ;-)

Please explain what you mean, in plain english that a danish citizen can understand.

This is supposed to be a thread that I started, about a model that I made...

Best regards

No Mystery and relevant - I posted your paint kit and used a photo of a specific Britannia
Tony was asking if I still wanted it painted to which I replied yes and as it very specific
to post it only to "The Pond" i.e www.classicbritishfiles.com

I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition

NO ONE expects the Spanish Inquisition :lol: :lol: Sri Leif.. it had to be done :lol:

A bit abrupt to JBK but there you go.

Jens.. I guess that Leif would like the Brit painted in his VA colours hence it being specific to there (though I could be wrong). ;-)

Yes and No Dave ;-)

It would be nice in VHAVA colours , but more specifically a very old friend in her true colours (G-AOVS) I always had a soft spot for the old girl (There are many reason's some of which are NOT for public consumption) But the main one is that VS appears most in my loadmasters Logbook. And the Photo I posted with Jens paintkit is that of Victor Sierra in
its final IAS Cargo Airlines colours.

Of course, if Jens posts his next notification in Danish, we might have to wait for Dan to pass by to let us know what is going on :lol:

Then again if it isn't a VC10, Dan might not bother..... :dunno:
