Had this thought while fetching the chips

[Radish]

Take a Lancaster.
Cut off the wings outboard of the engine nacelles. Clean up the edges and block them in with card.
Add outer wing panels in a bat-shape, flexibly mounted to flap.
Cool.
Standard RAF finish, but a "Vampire" squadron.
Love it.
Need a Lancaster.....I'll get one cheap somewhere. :dum:    :dum:    :dum:

Flown by Pirates, arrrrrrrrrrrrr?

So an AVRO Avion, eh?

Cheers, Jon

[Radish]

In fact I could do it to any decent-sized 4-engined aircraft.
I've not got a Lancaster, but I do have a Heller Constellation that can be suitably butchered....Nosferatu Maritime recon, eh?
Irish Air Corps?

Great picture , Jon. Just the sort of thing.....you see, there IS documentation for most of these things.  

[Radish]

"Flappy" tailplanes too...
....
and should I piss off the C-47 SIG as well?  

[Radish]

Better than a Constellation...

an Academy PBY Catalina....."Vampirates"?

or a RAAF "Black Vamp"??

[Leigh]

You absolute fuzzy bunny.. how could you do that?








Talk about Fish and Chip shops that is

Oooh wot I'd give for a Saveloy  

[retro_seventies]

oi oi saveloy!!

can't wait to get my trap round one of those in july - and wash it down with a couple of pints of banks's mild.

mmmmmm.

[Captain Canada]

I'm having popcorn and a Tetley's Ale....does that count ?

Cool idea, Radish. I liked the original Lancaster idea, tho....

:ar:  

[retro_seventies]

enough with the pizza...i'm sick of pizza and burgers and burritos - i'm stranded in south texas, and i want a saveloy!  ooooh and chips and curry sauce.  and a pickled egg.

my wife isn't going to know what hit her this summer - she thinks i fart like a horse now, just wait until i'm back on the kebabs, bitter, pickled eggs, balti and mild.

[Radish]

Like the sound of your contribution to global warming, Retro.

Does Tetleys still exist?
I though bloody Coors owned everything? I nkow they've buggared Bass, John Smith, etc..  

[Captain Canada]

Does Tetleys still exist?

It says on the tin :

" Brewed in England by Carlsberg-Tetley "

And it doesn't taste like Coors !

 

[Supertom]

I'd shudder to think what you'd come up with from the lingerie shop.  It's probably where you get all those pink ideas.    

[Radish]

Supertom, you just don't want to know the ideas I get in lingerie shops!!

and wash it down with a couple of pints of banks's mild.
