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:

Edit: If you're planning on travelling down to Waddington, let me know.

Ask one of the Yanks when they arrive to borrow an MQ-9 :03:.

I sure hope your correct Mark

Ta for the link....just printed off my Visa statement and off to the bank now.

Update:

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/img143/6...29190fjwl3.gif

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

:yeah:So what scale is it?

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:

1/72

Bloody right....I started collecting in Jan this year and have already got 38.....very addictive.

UPDATE:

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):

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/ima.../evillaugh.gif

Very nice Jim, I see a Cold war RAF theme going there :up:

Here's my collection:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=154097

I have a die-cast Churchill tank as well now, it's on the other side of the shelf from the King Tiger feeling somewhat undergunned. :haha:

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/...cordPosition=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.

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

Got one of them as well :DL

Jim, your pension is clearly too much! Feel free to donate some my way when your pockets get too full :O:

LOL...the secret is keeping it topped up by doing a bit of freelance work/part time :03:

Jimbuna - Private Dick...

Publicly a great guy...

:D

Hmm hope he gets the reference...being an ex copper...just in case anyone else didn't

Just you being an ex-bobby and suplimenting your income i imagined you being a private eye and that great comment came to mind.

No problem....I actually do a bit of freelance work for companies centered around my IOSH (and I know I don't need to explain that) diploma.

English authorities pay great, but this is better :DL

I shouldn't worry I've started sending them your ip addy so there is lots of fun ahead instore for multiple communication exchanges :DL
