That was a help in identifying him thanks but sadly I still can't get hold of his number.

I wish :DL

I ordered a rare diecast aircraft model and paid the asking price but received a variant that is easily found just about anywhere at half the rarer models price :stare:

Robert Luke Shillings is, I do believe a 29 year old man from Lincoln, so whether it's his business or he does it on behalf of someone else, I'm not sure.
The address points to a bungalow in Lincoln, so if I had to join the dots I'd wager that he did it on behalf of his father. Now, in the cul-de-sac behind them is 'Lincoln Signs and Services', and their number I will PM to you, perhaps you might want to try and ring them as a 'wrong number' and see if they can give you the number to Modelseeker. It's a shot in the dark, but it's in the vague direction of the target and might just connect.

Off to the bank to find out if my credit card can be fully reimbursed....need to know what level/amount of financial loss I might be facing before I can assess the level of my response/actions.

Doing a chargeback on your credit card should be simple enough. They misrepresented what you were buying and have made no attempt to rectify the situation. Sounds pretty clear cut.

I thought the costs with credit cards had to be over £100 to get reimbursed? I could be wrong!

Got some pals still at Waddo, can send the boys round to gently remind about things like Distance Selling Regulations.

By sending the boys round - I don't mean kick the **** out of him, I really do mean just to remind him! I don't know anyone like that. :O:

Bank have suspended the payment and advised me that if doesn't reimburse them they will withdraw his use of Visa facilities and prosecute him themselves.

Soooooo....as I see it I now have a diecast Meteor jet for gratis but somehow I reckon he'll be eager to respond to my email soon.

Question being....will I be eager to respond? http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/6356/av129190fjwl3.gif

This is what I'd ordered....only 500 worldwide ever made.

Understandable Jim, the WWII camo Meteor looks much better than the trainer (I presume that's training livery, looks too bloody garish to be anything else!). Diecast planes are awesome, aren't they? :yeah:

Well, what a suprise...two days after the above post (3rd March) I received this email (left the address in because it has already been posted in #5):


Jim

Please accept my apologies for the mix up on this order. The correct
model will be sent to you. When you have received your correct model,
can you return the AA35003 version to
Modelseeker
10 Vanwall Drive
Waddington
Lincoln LN5 9LT
I will reimburse the postage cost



The aircraft arrived this morning (No 107/500) so one can only presume the bank have come up trumps at their end.

Hope I can find the time to post the other aircraft back before not too long http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/evillaugh.gif

Yeah....I'm collecting anything British post WWII but am in two minds as to whether I should purchase this Fairey Gannet off HMS Hermes.....I know my choppers have rotors but a 1970's aeroplane with rotors hmm :hmmm:

http://www.aceshighcollectables.com/prodtype.asp?s=kn5s8n355870&strParents=&CAT_ID=133&numRecordPosition=1

My collection is still boxed and will remain so sadly, until one of the ankle biters fly the nest.

Bought an ottoman bed the other week to keep them safely stored at room temperature etc. and that is already half full :DL

Just been over to your thread (sorry I missed it) and you have a cool little collection of your own I see.
Herr-Berbunch
03-08-11, 10:02 AM
Fairey Gannet is one of the UK's ugliest aeroplanes! It makes the Swordfish look sleek and modern in comparison :D

@Oberon it's the target towing livery, although very similar to the training livery, and this is supposed to be from RAF Seletar and/or Changi in Singapore. Trawled as I might through pics upon pics in books and good old google I can find no evidence of a Meteor with a black tail fin. At least not whilst also in TT colours.

The other Meteor is in 208 Sqn colours, and I'm pleased to say that they the squadron, not the Meteors) are still very much flying today with Hawks from Valley. :D

Jimbuna
03-12-11, 07:02 AM
When I took the IOSH training at Newcastle we were offered a fast track NEBOSH course that meant two night classes per week in addition to the four days per week on the IOSH course and of the eight of us on the course only one individual tried it and dropped out after a few weeks.

Thus far I've never felt the need for an extra qualification.....I'm happy being involved in designing and developing new management systems.

The problem/danger with health and safety now is the present government want to water down the legislation which was already less than perfect/satisfactory anyway IMHO.
