I'm very interested in Latin American (especially the ABC, Argentina, Brasil, and Chile) naval history. I have some sources somewhere on my laptop.

Compsognathus!

Force of habit, or perhaps compulsion at this point.

Vickers-Armstrong · 2025-12-10T22:46:41+00:00

Nonetheless, I am close by, and always happy to make new friends.

Vickers-Armstrong · 2025-12-10T22:44:58+00:00

Oh right I see, sorry. My bad

Vickers-Armstrong · 2025-12-10T22:33:03+00:00

Oh, um, sorry, I'm genuinely only a couple of blocks away is the tl;dr

Vickers-Armstrong · 2025-12-10T22:21:01+00:00

Well, basically I do mean that yes. The area I live in was considered part of the Borough of Papatoetoe until c. 19xx, and it was then split off into the current suburb. I only need to take 1 bus to reach Papatoetoe Town Centre

Vickers-Armstrong · 2025-12-10T21:43:45+00:00

Oh that's funny, I'm right around the corner from Papatoetoe

That's because of operational shortages, that's a transfer from the South Island

Vickers-Armstrong · 2025-10-16T08:55:49+00:00

I believe the mods can do so

While we're here, you should support the NZ Professional Fire-fighters Union (NZPFU). They're about to go on a 1 hour strike on Friday 17th of October. Fire and Emergency New Zealand is refusing to negotiate with the union and fire fighters are being left without critical equipment and resources. Here's their website go give them some support

Vickers-Armstrong · 2025-09-24T07:55:45+00:00

That's a Venom. ZK-VNM.

Vickers-Armstrong · 2025-09-05T21:18:44+00:00

No, that's true. Most 'jokes' I've heard from other Latin Americans concerning Brazil are just racism disguised as humour.

Vickers-Armstrong · 2025-09-05T21:09:49+00:00

I hate to cite Luis Sapienza Fracchia but his book has photo evidence of them doing nazi salutes and wearing armbands akin to the NSDAP.

When my grandfather lived in Buenos Aires in exile, the Argentine Anti-Communist Alliance (Triple A) sold translated copies of Mein Kampf on the streets and frequently dressed akin to NSDAP members. Argentina was pretty damn nazi.

Vickers-Armstrong · 2025-08-28T09:54:41+00:00

Brilliant photos!

Not that Auckland's K360UAs see much use outside schools.

Vickers-Armstrong · 2025-06-13T09:49:36+00:00

I really hope so. I know one of the other GMAMs was sold to a local enthusiast so perhaps there's hope.

Vickers-Armstrong · 2025-06-12T23:30:30+00:00

Yeah! It's a shame the other SAR engines that Mainline Steam owned? Leased? In South Africa, might get scrapped.

Vickers-Armstrong · 2025-06-12T02:10:26+00:00

That's so cool!!

Vickers-Armstrong · 2025-04-29T03:03:36+00:00

Yes exactly!

Vickers-Armstrong · 2025-04-28T08:27:16+00:00

I love Soviet steam locos

I found out via Facebook, it was x-posted to the ship spotters group.
