Sorry for your loss Andy. I had the good fortune to meet Gordon in Chicago in 2009 and was able to have several one on one conversations with him. I was fairly new to collecting, and like he did with you, got me interested in collecting WWII. Getting into collecting was a great help to me back...

From my research on WWII vehicle camo colours, getting the colour correct on an Italian bike being used by the Germans in Normandy in late 1944 is hit and miss at best. Grey tanks with a yellow kublewagen (where did that one come from?) Terry

A bit more info on the crash of the C-130 Hercules firefighting aircraft. The word here is that it was a Canadian owned C-130 air tanker which was one of two C-130 aircraft leased to Coulson Aviation, a Canadian aerial firefighting company . The flight crew were American. While the C-130 is...

It is French Canadian. In fact Fruiterie 440 is the largest retailer of fruit and vegetables in Quebec Terry

To put the fires in perspective, the area impacted in Australia is 80 times larger than the 2019 California fires and 10 times the massive Fort McMurray fire of a few years ago in Canada. I heard Canada is sending another group of fire specialists to OZ. That will bring to number to 95. Most...

You have a long memory ^&grin Terry

Not an easy question to answer. Depends on what is meant by "in the field" In combat? Near combat ? In a subdued area following combat (i.e. Paris, Poland)? He was certainly in the field in 1945 while Berlin was being over run :rolleyes2: and there are photos of Hitler giving out medals to...

Hitler was wounded in his right arm. For some time after he would shake hands with his left hand. This is well documented in films from the war as is shown in several places in this film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88g88BObjJY As for the left arm that trembled more and more was due to...

It doesn't even look like a K&C model. It looks too crudely made. And there doesn't appear to have mud in the tracks ^&grin Listing has item location shown as Lincoln, Massachusetts, United States but says it ships from Ottawa Canada.^&confuse Obee - better check on Wayne. Seems the very high...

If the vision block was on the previous model but forgotten on this one, I wonder if there is a box of unused vision blocks in the warehouse? Terry

Lots of places talk separation. Quebec in Canada. Basque and Catalonia in Spain. Scotland in GB. I wonder what the reaction would be if England told N. Ireland, Wales and Scotland to get out and England was going on it's own. Terry

Well that's settled. Now Bozo is free to deal with Scottish independence ^&grin Terry

George got it right. The ref errors are usually blatant misses or bad calls that could be fixed with a video review before they can't be changed Terry.

I watched the 2nd half of the Patriots - KC game. From near the end of the 3rd Q into the first half of the 4th Q was the worst series of bad calls I have ever seen at any time in any sport. What makes it even worse is that most of the bad calls had an effect on the outcome of the game. What a...

Canadian firefighters go to OZ !!!! Not to worry ladies. Us Canucks will save you. ^&grin^&grin^&grin^&grin https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/04/world/canada-firefighters-help-australia-bushfires-for-holidays-trnd/index.html?fbclid=IwAR0NIf6tO6mK1ci38yfdW97z8JitPYdY_LnDmrXxz3z2ejrzagG95brUMFg Terry

Winter certainly arrived in Toronto - about 3 weeks early. The temperature is going down to 9F tonight. I'm not psychologically prepared for the biting winds and deep freeze. Terry

Well done. I've been to the battlefield many times over the years and you have captured the feel of what it must have been like back then. Terry

Same currency problem in Canada as in Oz. The winter Jackson would cost me C$400. I'm still collecting but am buying only the occasional exceptional model Terry

Simple yet very effective Terry
