If George, Joe and Colin can do it, let's kick this back to Sunday the 7th of September 8:30 PM NY. 

Check your diaries gents and we will lock it in 

Unfortunately evening of 7 Sept doesn’t work for me - I’ll be on a flight back from Nashville at that time.

George check 21 Sep? for the Mag 46. I would love cliff to be involved in the 48 Parallel. 

I will put one together this week for the RJ Churchill and the N8 Churchill. We may do that one prior.

You were the reason why I threw my hat into the arena. 😂😂😂

If the offer stands from you @El Presidente and maybe a few more Europeans take heart, I'd be happy to take part.

 

@ChanceSchmerr,If you be intrigued, I'll send you some. It's easy to solve.

 

Get those Euro laggards in order and we will work on a Robusto Parallel of Robusto Trinity and HDM Epi 2 or D4

Thanks @Perla, I won’t be able to participate. Sorry folks!

[ElLoboLoco]

The only thing that would kick this up a notch, blind smokes but I reckon you could still pick them out aesthetically. Or maybe not. 🤷‍♂️ 

I love it and I can’t wait to see!

[El Presidente]

Well done Euro lads. Grab one more and then I will arrange a PM to capture the best delivery addresses and we can lock in a date. Churchill or Robusto...I don't particularly mind. Banos...step up

On that particular date or in general?

[Perla]

@MagicalBikeRide, any chance that you loop in?

@MAT, any chance?

@RDB, any chance?

Apologies, just seeing this now - in the middle of some work up in Scotland on a *very* big naval ship this week.

If allowed, I could jump in for a robusto comparison with a D4 next month, as I have many of those, unfortunately I'm empty on both RyJ Churchills and HdM Epis. Let me know!

@ChanceSchmerr You're a "Euro Lad" these days? 🤔

[BigGuns]

Not sure if I’m late to the party, but I’m in with a 46 if there’s still room. Is it the 31st?  7th?  21st?  48th?

[MagicalBikeRide]

Yup. I’m up for a Europe session if I can make the timing / logistics work. I have R&J Churchills, D4s and Epi 2s. Think I also have some Fab5 Churchills left but none of the robustos.

Yes indeed. Once the movers arrive with our stuff next week to our new house in Bristol, UK, we shall be fully European (Brexit be damned! )

Congrats! I guess you get to work on actual ships vs being stuck behind a desk? Is this a permanent move or part of a long term assignment?
