    • 3,000 that is great and how many of those posts are Steve K's. That is quite amazing for a forum 9 months old. Jason good luck with your move. Not quite sure where you are moving to but moving can certainly be stressful just take it easy.

          • Jason weather cooling down highs of about 15-17 now. Over nights dropping below 10 degrees. As for the weekend not sure. People assume that everyone gets the weekends off. Not true when you work retail a weekend off is rare. Lately I am getting Friday and Saturdays off. Might head to YYZ on Saturday as JAL might be arrving. Every fall JAL and ANA bring in charter flights for the fall colours. I think JAL has a flight on Saturday. So might get a JAl B-777.

                  well guys, just had a GREAT result on ebay!! just won this very rare 1 of 50 only executive models 172 boac comet 1!!! story goes like this. he listed this a couple of weeks ago, but withdrew it with just over a day to go. on one of his other listings, he had a telephone number. so i rang him the following day. he said it was withdrawn as over a hundrded people rang him wanting to buy it now. so he asked me what my offer was. so i told him it was £200.00. he said he would pass that on to his grandfather whose model it was, and he was selling for. anyway he turned it down as it was 'worth' a lot more. theni noticed a couple of days ago, it was re-listed. which i thought a bit strange, and ther was NO reserve. so with 10 seconds to go it was at just £117.22. so i bid bid £195, and got it for....................................£155.00!!! £45.00 less than i offered him!![img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]<div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>

                        • Sad history there with that one (YOKE PETER) and if I recall (YOKE YOKE) both experiencing mid air explosions a short time into service, grounding the rest of the fleet until eventually metal fatigue was discovered, and led to many improvements we see today.
                          A very valueable model Robert, one of huge historical interest to many. Well done on securing it and at a good price too.

                            • thanks a lot guys. really chuffed at winning it as he had already turned down a £200 offer. so what happened to all these other 100 people that supposed to have rung him about, i don't know. he never even put a reserve on it second time round! still its his loss. as allowing for ebay and paypal fees of around £20, he actually sold it for just £135 net!! crazy. <div>yeah sad story on the comet. i believe it was metal fatigue on rivets around the window and door frames not being strong enough. stillm this will go nicely with my other 1/100 exec models comet 4!![img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img] amazingly i now have FOURTEEN models in 1/100 or 1/72!![img]smileys/smiley3.gif[/img]</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>
