Glue still drying but feel like I'm getting there with planes @RedFiveModels @WeHaveWaysPod @james1940 @Airfix @FinleysTouch #spitoff #kitoff2026

It took about 10 gallons of product to repaint the top of our Lancaster's wings. Huge thanks to KF Aerospace for the excellent work - and the timelapse!

@arthistorynews Thanks Doc

@almurray Handsome.

@RedFiveModels @WeHaveWaysPod @James1940 @Airfix @FinleysTouch DM!

@almurray @WeHaveWaysPod @James1940 @Airfix @FinleysTouch Phwoar.....for sure, fiddly dee.

@FXMC1957 That's about right

@almurray Tinker, tailor, soldier, cunt. 😂

.@Tonisenior's book about the Cambridge Spies is so good: the extent to which the Sovs penetrated the British and US establishments is staggering. It's making me wonder if some of the national pride in Bletchley etc is a subconscious effort to credit ourselves with a good intel war when we had been disastrously turned over.

@sauldavid66 @Tonisenior Maybe not even subconscious

@almurray @Tonisenior Fair point Al. You might well be right

@Christo79619279 @Tonisenior of course it is. May I suggest you buy the book?

@almurray @Tonisenior Is Victor Rothschild's role mentioned at all?

@JohnDon58086814 It isn't though is it? Before Barbarossa the USSR was Germany's ally.

@almurray It was a bit more complex at the time as who was an friend and who was a foe was in flux! CF *Oceania is—and has always been—at war with Eastasia and allied with Eurasia."

@Fo_Tog_Rob @Tonisenior hahahha

@almurray @Tonisenior Al, I have only the utmost respect for everything you do, but please please please never use that word again. You’re British. It’s Int. nothing more. Anything else is disgustingly colonial. 🫡

@Tonisenior when you consider that we didn't get inside the German govt yet pat ourselves on the back for reading their wireless traffic, it seems like pretty small beer to what Stalin knew and how he was able to act on it with strategic effect.

@almurray 😂😂

Top 10 Aircraft Beloved By Boring Bastards! Ranting against the aviation bores you've had to endure for so many years, with brilliant contributions by @James1940 @almurray @paul_tremelling and @SkippyBing story here: hushkit.substack.com/p/top-10-aircr…

@Tonisenior "UK: "Ooh look we are so clever we built a computer that means we decrypt so much we can't we read it all!" USSR: "we didn't need to our lad stuffed it down his trousers"

@almurray That is a very strong shout….

I foresee that we may annoy a few folks with this one! A faint whiff of Fleet Air Arm ‘what was the best you were hoping for?’ 😀 Chuffed to make the team sheet. 🫡 @Hush_Kit @James1940 @almurray @SkippyBing

@almurray @Airfix I wonder if Bob Hope did a similar thing for Tamiya?
