THE EAGLE HAS LANDED!

I mean...Red October has arrived safely here in Germany. (Thx to Roger)
I have some plans with it, but I will take some pictures first and continue the tale of 'Red O" then...

It was spotted going over the border by a film crew , they were going to make a movie but Mr. Connery was otherwise engaged.

Don't know if the man had something to do with S.P.E.C.T.R.E.
An old 2CV car with several bullet-hits all over came to a halt with squeaking tires at my house. A weired looking man with an eyepatch rushed out of the car, mumbled something like "they are after me...." Handed me the parcel and vanished in his car. "Ruuuun...hiiide....ruuun awaaaay..." he yelled - and left me alone with this mysterious box.

When I opened it, the now famous "Red O" greeted me. No bullet wounds here...no sign if any seafights. All in tiptop condition.
I now have to prepare the journey with my delicate cargo to some mysterious places all over Germany...

@ Aurigarius
If you have Red October up until April, you will have to bring it to the Intermodelbau in Dortmund and sail it on the Pond in Hall 5

Arrow5 · « **Reply #180 on:** January 28, 2010, 10:35:08 am »

Ah ,we have been expecting you Meester Dean.

Aurigarius · « **Reply #181 on:** January 28, 2010, 02:44:50 pm »

Hi Colin,

I hope we will have a whole fleet ready for Dortmund. We hope to see you there.
Greetings also from Torsten and Dörthe

Aurigarius · « **Reply #182 on:** February 03, 2010, 07:59:10 am »

Red O is packed and ready to go with me to the Nuremberg Toy fair, where I am working during that time. I hope I can place her somewhere at that booth - together with my Kit-Springer. If anyone is interested. I am at booth No. F-111 in hall 7A. Companies name is AMEWI. Dealer enquiries welcome

If all goes well I will post the first picture from there in this thread soon. I'm off at 5 a.m. tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.

Yes, the signs saying that are everywhere. But there are so many cameras (and photo-handys) around there every year...I think they've given up on that.

If you come around Friday, you can also meet Torsten Hill there, who is there with me until Saturday I think.
See you there.

Arrow5 · « **Reply #185 on:** February 03, 2010, 09:44:28 am »

A shot with Red O and the crew at the front entrance where the big posters are would be good as well as any you get with a spy-cameras. If Xtian can do it in a top secret French naval establishment......!

Aurigarius · « **Reply #186 on:** February 05, 2010, 11:40:31 pm »

Here come the first pictures frum Nuremberg.
1. The famous Red October at the Amewi-Booth where we are working, together with our Springer-Kit.
2. Torsten (left) and me with 'Red O'
3. Red O on a visit at the Deans Marine Booth. Looks like good fun, doesn't it?

Wow, it is going all flash now ! No more undercover work then, full glare of public shows,

Cold War ended then ?

Where to next, one wonders ?

Nice pics BTW.

...Good Morning Guys...

...How about an updated list of all the events that " RED OKTOBER" has visited since it first reached me in SCOTLAND from Toesup in The USA...Whilst with me R.O. visited shows ENGLAND & WALES then Arrow5 took it to SWITZERLAND...

...Best Regards...Norry...

Arrow5 · « **Reply #191 on:** February 06, 2010, 10:21:20 am »

What we really need is a trackiing map. Any IT gurus up for the job?

So far it has been to Scotland, England, Wales, France,Austria, Germany, Switzerland (more than twice at some countries) Anybody that wants to help it on it`s way to somewhere should contact me here on Mayhem, open to all offers. Trying to do it on the cheap or free. Last resort post

. Main purpose is pictures at suitable "national" locations, Eiffel Tower, on the QE2, Leaning Tower of Domino`s, Greek Islands ( me please !) Taj Mahal (Me ?) Great Wall of China (me again..pleeeeze !) Where can a toy boat not go ?

Patrick Henry · « **Reply #192 on:** February 06, 2010, 10:22:17 am »

Probably a silly question....but is RO a fully operational submarine?

Rich

Arrow5 · « **Reply #193 on:** February 06, 2010, 10:43:29 am »

Sadly no, just one man`s interpretation of the Springer rule that anything above the deck can be what you like. I`m sure someone will try it one day ! Tests have been carried out in remote loch in the far north with a Scottish version, submerging test successful, surfacing needs more work

Patrick Henry · « **Reply #194 on:** February 06, 2010, 10:52:00 am »

Ah...I have that problem, the original Deep Quest submerged perfectly, a joy to behold it was. Never saw the b*****y thing again!!!

Good luck with RO's escapades...

Rich

The map is made as arrow5 suggested, the address is:

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=115937270120865122444.00047eecfbf83d5434eab

You all should be able to edit it. I think you must have a google account, but if you have postcodes of where it's been I'll put them on.

Arrow5 · « **Reply #196 on:** February 06, 2010, 11:59:56 am »

Thanks Andy, that is just what we need...`cept I`m an eedjit with IT. It`ll take me while but I`ll try . Cheers mate.

Arrow5 · « **Reply #197 on:** February 06, 2010, 03:54:38 pm »

Well I think I have the Google map brought up to date. Need some editing when I get info from various handlers, PM me with errors or omissions. Need names and pics to be added when I recover

Roger in France · « **Reply #198 on:** February 07, 2010, 08:26:12 am »

I, for one, cannot edit the map.

The marker relating to me needs to be at Chantonnay, 85110. West of A83.

Red O. also visited the Sub Pens at St Nazaire.
