You do realise that he’s HALO trained?
He pulls the chute when the dog lead goes slack...

As an aside... my first job after leaving school was as an apprentice in a piano factory (John Broadwood & Sons Ltd).
I learned to make the soundboards and bridges, cabinet making to fit the keyboard cover and lids, and also worked in the polishing shop French Polishing and doing the spray lacquer finishes.
I did a day release course at the London College of Furniture and still have my City & Guilds certificate in "Stringed Instrument Manufacture"...
IIRC one of the baby grand pianos I worked on went to Buckingham palace...
Did it grow into the role?

More on the Polikarpov . Started the painting. The green isn't quite the right shade, but it's all I've got. The blue, surprisingly is correct as far as I can tell.
Norwegian Blue
Clanker
I promise to start a build thread with my next kit, but until then I'll continue to bore you all with highlights (for me) of my return to the dark side. First ever sight of, let alone attempt at bending, photoetch. Really, really chuffed, but I expect that to change first time I #### it up.

Probably better off asking in one of the military history threads as it's a bit niche.

Small world.
Henry Liardet went on to make Maj Gen, he and I shared the same birthday being the only other person I have ever met to do so. His son Andrew is a friend, he lives in the same village as I.
