Rescue of a partially built Revell IIC. Floats from a Matchbox Fairey Sea Fox. I made the float struts.

Sure looks sleek! I'd never expect floats to lend an air of speed, but here we are.

Hot right outta the gate!

Brilliant start, TBG! :smiley:

Thanks guys. It's getting there. Hope to get it done.

Have been sidetracked with the sale of my parent's house. Both my parents have dementia so my my brother and I are the designated Substitute Decision makers in their POA.

I completely understand. My Dad asks me what I do for a living almost everyday and I’ve had the same career for 25 years. My siblings and I are learning to just let comments and questions go by. Many times it’s just the dementia talking.

Sorry to hear that, mate. I can only imagine what it must be like losing the person you knew to something as insidious as dementia.

If you can, you can: If you can't, you can't. Family first, always! :smiley:

Thank you.  We see the same behaviour Ken.  The same message on an endless loop. Insidious is the same term I use as well Guy. We missed the early signs which pisses me off.

Another friend's mom also has dementia. She calls it the long good-bye.

Sorry to hear about your parents Carl,  mrs kitnut's Grandad had it so I'm keeping an eye on her, her short term memory is starting to get a little wonky --

I was lucky only insofar as both my parents died before they could succumb to it. But the first job I ever had was orderly in a Nursing home - at least they have you there with them.
