The Divinyls had some great songs, Chrissy often wore a Black School girls uniform when performing, not sure if she beat Angus Young (AC/DC) to wearing school uniforms, but she was certainly more attractive :cool: 'Rage' is an Australian Music TV program, it started in 1987 and still airs...

Col Joye was the first Aussie musician to have a national Australian hit with 'Oh Yeah, Uh Huh' back in 1959, he kicked off the career of Little Pattie and the Bee Gees, but was virtually unknown overseas. Little Pattie's biggest hit (I think)

I'm sure Toby and George will soon be deluged with A$$istants, knocking at their door, keen to have a crack at Buttisting.

Some interesting releases, I like the large landing craft and the Santa Pandas, should be popular. I would like to see WW2 Pacific Theater variants for the new LCM3 Landing Craft and the earlier LCVPs.

Too soon George? ;)

Kev, great songs from the Vietnam War era. Reminds me that the performers weren't safe when they performed for troops in Vietnam. For example Aussie singers "Pattie" (Patricia Amphlett) and "Col Joye and the Joy Boys" were perfoming a concert when the Battle for Long Tan broke out Four...

Celebrating 50 Years of George Thorogood & The Destroyers (now I feel older) :eek::) Bad to the Bone One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer Wanted Man

I hope John extends the range Robin. Personally I'm still holding off collecting this range in the hope some Antagonists such as Indians, Aborigines, Robbers etc arrive to 'Battle' the Miners and of course some Police or Military to add to the 'Action'.

The above pilot mentions the difficulty flying a helicopter in cloud, a reminder that it's very dangerous (56 seconds to live) to fly helicopters in low visibility conditions. "56 seconds to live" is a reference to a helicopter safety initiative by the U.S. Helicopter Safety Team (USHST) that...

First hand info on the RAAF Huey Bushranger Gunship in Vietnam. And hoping Andy/King & Country will produce it for the Vietnam range 🙏

The mighty Chinook in action. My nephew joined the Australian Defence Force hoping to fly them. However they were sold off to be replaced by the Blackhawk. How does a Medium Lift Chopper replace a Heavy Lifter? It wasn't long before they realised they effed-up, and purchased more Chinooks :unsure:

A Classic K & C set, personally I'm still selling off my Germans to make room for more Aussie sets as funds permit.

That could happen Steve, but I think most people would be on Guy Fawkes side these days considering the continued downwards slide of the Windsors, just saying ;)

I luved those Naked Gun films, haven't seen the remake but have to wonder how they compare considering the current PC Karen craziness. And not surprised that Tom Hiddleston would be in a Three way with another guy.

It takes a brave person to take on a tank single handled, especially back in those days when machinery was relatively new on the battlefield. A very different battlefield now, I've been watching the latest drone feeds from the Russian/Ukraine war. Soldiers there are vulnerable to drone attacks...

Starting this with some Australian stories. Please Feel Free to add videos, images etc you find that may be of interest. Australian Vet relates some history of Nui-Dat base: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nui_Dat Sticks and Slicks - Hueys etc in Vietnam; Australian Armour in Vietnam...

Great looking truck Mike. My youngest son visited Vietnam several years back, he loved it, especially Ha Long Bay. I have Four Vietnam shelf displays, Three are rural, I have both K & C Hueys and Two Collectors Showcase versions, hoping for an Aussie Huey soon, can't have to many helicopters imo.

Great scene Woody, looks like you have plenty of room for larger displays.

Hard to find the perfect climate, humidity sucks but so does cold weather. I like the thought of a snowy winter, living in a cabin in the woods, hunting etc but know from limited experience that I can't handle truly cold weather, same as most Aussies. I have only seen snow once in my life, I'm...
