Ooohhh Gold Coast. What beautiful scenery there. Went swimming on one of the beaches on a day off while on TD at RAAF Amberly way back in time. Almost emigrated there but I got a posting to Germany instead:)

Hi James.

A little piece of military trivia for you.
Way back last centuary when the site for RAAF Amberly was being selected, there were two options.
They were it's present location (well inland) and the other was Coolangatta, which as you would be aware, is right on the Gold Coast.
How would you have liked a posting to RAAF Coolangatta?  :D

Cool!  I just got an update saying mine has left NZ so it will definitely be a post-Christmas delivery here in Akron.  No worries!  Anticipation is half the fun.   :)

My friend Rick got his delivered at 12:30 pm Pacific Time. Can't tell you where he lives — can't have some of you blokes blocking traffic on his block and endlessly ringing his bell.

Congratulations, my "duelist" box is also already on the trip to Germany.

Your big-box is slightly deformed at the upper left corner.
I hope the plastic sprue's are allright?

They are fine. In my excitement when the postman arrived at the door, I "misjudged" the weight of the box and it slipped about 18 inches onto the porch floor. My fault, but no damage.

The postman rang while I was in the shower, I missed him!
It's gone back to the post office and I will have to wait until Friday!

I live outside Chicago.  Left the house at 3:30 PM do go to my Dad's house for Xmus Eve. Got home at 10:00 PM and there was a giant box sitting on my front stoop.  Needless to say I was giddy as a school boy.  I'm sitting in my chair right now with them in my lap....The other half of the story, when I was at my Dad's he had my name in the grab bag, and he got me the Fokker DVII F.  Gotta say.....could be the greatest Xmus ever!






P S my box wasn't even crinkled on the corners...
