HubertB Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Too bad for the cruise. I think you are of the few who act responsibly in this situation. Last year, I caught Covid in Lisbon airport, on my way to France. Then I passed it on to my wife. We cancelled our return flight 10 days later, but, as we had to get home, drove from France to Portugal. However, the fact that I caught it in an airport, when the Covid situation was a well-known factor (18 months after the start of the crisis, and far from the its peak) just shows that some people knowingly went through the airport and on their flight, when they should not have … i hope you have a good insurance coverage for the cancelled cruise.

ScottsGT Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Thanks Hubert. We bought the basic trip insurance. Airline already refunded our points and cash for the airfare. Cruise line refunded the cost of the excursions, port taxes and fees and all the little things that add up. Now I’ve got to submit another form for the actual cruise cost and the letter from the airline showing it was a cancelled flight due to weather. Edit to add: Honestly, I had no idea I had covid and would have proceeded with the cruise if the flights were not cancelled. About this time every year for the past 5 or 6 years I get the late summer/early fall sniffles from those pesky yellow flowering weeds. Golden Rod is one of them. I thought I was simply having my annual reaction. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rental cars. I would have been patient zero that got the entire ship quarantined. Someone was telling me to not get on that ship. So here I sit in a parking lot waiting on my Rx to get filled. Oh no. Hang in there my friend. I just I got better from covid second time. It was not fun 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Thanks everyone. Woke up this morning feeling much better already. Like the PA at the Urgent Care said yesterday, I’m on the back end of this so it’s just going to get better each day. But of course the wife is where I was at two days ago. This is her second round of covid. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Something I haven't seen in a very long time. This is a solid brass Toyota Corolla that my aunt gave me back in 1980 when I was 9. She worked for Toyota Hong Kong at the time and was the secretary to the VP there. It's certainly seen better days but it brings back memories. The funny thing is it's a cigarette holder. The top lifts off and the cigarettes sit inside.

I built that when it first came out. I think I may still have it at my folks'. It's a nice kit and I don't recall any issues with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 104 I did was a Revell 1980's 1/32 a long time ago . That one had 8 ...maybe 10 parts from memory. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 yes I saw it, although I am not sure if its active already or not. 999,- Chinese Yuan (189CAD) for a kit seems a bit steep . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it got a bad rep I'd like a GR1 Jag , as the only other option is the Heller/Airflup one , which I've built and is ancient . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I know right?, Jaguar seems to be somehow ignored amongst major scale manufacturers. Such a cool machine deserves more attention. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerWomble Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Found rather than got in the post. Amongst my fathers papers... some large photographs that he used to get for me whilst on board from the PR office. These all date from his time on Bulwark R08 , '71-71 and '79-81. Nice references for when I get around to both my Wessex and ( yes I guess I'll have to buy one🙄 ) Airfix Sea King. The Airfix release is for a different aircraft in the same 826 squadron earlier when they were on Eagle , this pic from 1980 when they were briefly on Bulwark , but only a few masks away from this one . 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought the Jaguar was one of the coolest looking aircraft that the manufacturers just seem to pass by. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 HMS Bulwark, that brings back some memories I can remember visiting her when she was docked in Liverpool, I was astonished how thin the skin was on a helicopter when I pushed on it. It must have been in the sixties as I was still at school. Cheers Dennis 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
