Snow Days.... :)
« on: January 18, 2012, 03:26:32 PM »
 A somewhat rare heavy snowfall here in Seattle has allowed me to play hooky from work today, yay!

A wonderful day of Bass Guitars, electric trains and later, view the classic ealy '70 war move "The Battle of Britain"  The plucky R.A.F. vs Goering's boys - Life is good  ;)

Much as it wanted to go for a drive in the snow, the Subu got the day off.......


So many T Birds, nice to have the time and a 200watt practice rig set up  ;D

MUCH better idea than trying to navigate downtown Seattle hills while the nutballs bounce off everything in sight!

As always The RAF boys in the Hurri's and Spit's prevailed, it's just a great airplane movie. Keith Parks and especially Dowding's characters are flawlessly played.

I find the irony that the Spitfires take a starring role but there were many many more Hurricanes involved in this time period...

We had a Eurofighter fly over yesterday evening - resplendant with afterburner...  a couple of them were involved in exercises over London in the dark... there will be a contingency based at a local airport for the Olympics, just in case...

 Glamour girls in the spotlight Kenny, I like Keith Parks in his white flying kit and Hurricane.

 At work, I'm in Boeing Field's flightpath, I get 787, 748-8 prototypes, plus the occasional AWACS or B-17, and a lot of airfreight UPS/Fedex, it ain't bad!

They only had three working Hurricanes for the film, quite a few more Spitfires. 

Good article on the production, plane sourcing and model building for the film:

I found a torrent for the “Making of B of B” very interesting , we must not forget that if the BF-109 had another 30mins endurance Uwe would own ALL our Basses also Gibson would be run correctly ;),
Cheers
