Thanks my friends.
Champagne of course and Bordeaux red wine (and a very good one believe me). A nice chicken ribs (who said "Chicken" ?) "a la" Mexicana roasted on the Barbecue with friends and neighbours. Was nice. Ordered a Ferrari Pininfarina 512S Modulo 1:43 from RedLine models (1000ex limited edition) from Belgium (circa 120.00 €... Ouch !). I'm waiting BadCat to store some HobbyMaster Mirage 2000 "Joan of Ark" to order one of these and a pair of Hawker SeaFurys from Witty Wings. Who have once in his life seen a Sea Fury in real life (I did) have to agree that beside the Vought Corsair (the plane which won the Pacific war), the spiritual son of the Tempest and the Typhoon (two great airplanes) : the Sea Fury was a must have in any collection ! I know the story of a mission involving Seafurys that shot down two Migs jets in the summer of 1952.
A toast to two of my best friends in the collecting (SW & ST) world : Marilyn Guyote "R2dee2" (http://www.sicqnus.com/news/R2TC.jpg) and Jean Clarke "Vulcan Touch'" from Colorado (http://www.sicqnus.com/news/VT1.jpg). They passed away, both from Cancer. I miss them so much it hurts badly. Sometimes when you met exceptional people, you know life is worth to be lived. When they're gone and only when everythings' empty, you really know what you missed.

And a toast to all forum members. Those who loves airplanes are blessed by God.
Ashes to Ashes & Dust to Dust... and...
Collect to collect ?

[Hurriup!]

Right back at you Sicqnus and many happy returns while the loss of friends is very sad with life also comes the promise of new friendships. Hope your day was special.
