I just posted a (long overdue) update to my site on the De Havilland DH-88 Comet.

Not structly what-if but there is a what-if section in the site!

No doubt you've seen this:https://www.cometracer.co.uk/ and G-RCSR is a reproduction Comet based on the original construction drawings, being built by Ken Fern in parallel with the restoration of Black Magic at Derby

Yes, I have seen the site and follow them on Facebook. Can't wait to see all three Comets flying together!

And a fair number of them have been lifted (without credit) from this very forum.  4 are mine and at least one is NARSES2's.

Well I'll be jiggered ! Perhaps we should consider a Class Action Dave ?  ;)

Seriously it does annoy me when people's work, or even the source, goes unaccredited.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Just let me know which ones are yours and I will put the credits in.
I has a lot of material that I have no idea where it came from.
No offence meant!

None taken, Tom.  :thumbsup:

Mine are the BEA, RAF camouflaged, Schneider and Supermarine Comets. 

There's a couple of others there that I've seen here, but don't recall which threads.

According to me, the main fault is not Tom's but Microsoft's: "Save picture as" should not save only the picture, but a few pixels addition with the source. This is the need but computer people don't care of the need, alas. So, now, I do not use anymore "Save picture as" but "Print Screen" then going on a pixel management software to include the web address. This is possible but long and uneasy.

Gentlemen,

I've added your names (I hope I picked the right pictures  ;)) and where I could find them I added a link to the relevant topics on the forum.
Again apologies for not attributing your work!

Thank you Tom  :thumbsup:

And Tophe, yes I can see where you are coming from.

I do understand Tom's dilemma. I've been gathering up photos of 1:72 models in a folder for many many years. They're really just for my own entertainment and edification, but if I ever did decide to build an online 1:72 museum site, I wouldn't have the foggiest how to attribute probably 99% of those photos. I guess I'd just post them, ask that anyone who recognizes a model contact me, and go from there.
All hail 1:72!

I think that's a perfectly acceptable way to do it.
