Yes, if you have a shortwave radio receiver, you can listen in on frequencies 5000 kHz, 10000 kHz, and 15000 kHz to listen to the atomic clock broadcast of UCT. I used to use that to set my watch as needed. Something you learn as a commo guy on radio watch from the old hands…
And as far as UCT vs. Zulu time, Zulu just sounds more badass!

Sweet! Gives me plenty time to find something I've never done in case I'm in no mood to build what's in my current stash.

One suggestion: Matchbox Noorduyn Norseman in 1/72 scale. The floatplane version is for a civilian Canadian bush plane:
I'm building one now. You should be able to find one; maybe one of the links provided in another thread showing sellers will have one.

Dammit, I wish I saw this post earlier... I already picked up my kit for the GB... I think I may do one anyway at some point.
I chose the Minicraft Beechcraft Bonanza V35A. Looks like a fun simple kit, and its civi, so I can't complain.

Also may I make a suggestion? Should there be an official name for the GB, I suggest calling it "Never have I ever" because that is basically the game we are all playing with the GB.

I’ll come up with a name when I post the three for the GB in a couple of weeks.

Awwh nuts, I thought it was anything you never built before
Oh well back to the ole modern bomber thing. We're having our show up here on the 9th.
"You know, I think I sneak over there and give it a big whang myself."
Maybe I can find something in a modern bomber size.
