Mrs. Chickenboy's B-day today. I got her "the new i-Pad" with a bunch of other goodies.

We're going to Cozumel for a week starting on Sunday to celebrate our 16th anniversary and both of our birthdays too.

Congrats on the anniversary of your marriage and entries into the world!

"Vacation". Sure-here's what it is: sleeping in, snorkeling and scuba, lounging by the pool, getting drinks brought out to your chair on the beach, gawking at the iguanas and geckos, lovely sunsets, warm weather, sun tans and warm nights.

We bought a new bed today and replaced the mattress of granite

The old mattress was as hard as a slab of granite

Sandstone is much better than granite. Enjoy.

Gawking at iguanas and geckos? That's what you tell the wife anyway.

So you would primarily service RR Merlin engines in Lancaster Spitfire and Hurricane?

Not exactly, it's mechanical work (basically everything except electrics and instruments) and flight servicings. Don't forget the Griffon engines and the mighty Gypsy Major. The actual job also involves a good chunk of PR type work. I keep trying to find excuses to check things in the Lanc cockpit

It's strange to think that 25 years ago I pointed to the Lancaster and told my parents I'd work on it one day!

She's not trying the 'breakfast in bed' option (using food you've paid for!) or other similar free aproaches?

BTW, post some nice cockpit pics (or full walk around <HINT!!!>) if you can (i.e. if it is not forbidden by the rules)!

It's allowed and I'm deinitely going to take a LOT of pitures, but I'll have to find the time to do it. It's fantstic inside her, there are loads of original fittings still inside her, original radio sets, the nav's table, original oxy bottles and cartridge racks for the turrets. Luvverly.

Gents - just to let you know that the Australian Beauties competition has finally reached its conclusion and the results have been announced.

Treetop64 the committee have decided to take no further action vis a vis your little er... mistake, however, I would warn anyone looking to play WITPAE to be careful

I would really love to see PoV ("Point of View") pictures from Lancaster's all different crew positions towards outside!
