Hello, all ...
It was so beautiful this morning that I decided to take the little bi-plane out for an early morning flight over the harbour!
The cruise ships were already in and the passengers were just beginning to come ashore for a look at our wonderful island of St. Thomas.
Just to the right of the tail of my aircraft is Frenchmen's Reef Hotel. Off to the left is Flag Hill. And, if you look just to the right, as you're coming down Flag Hill, you'll see what looks like five white utility poles. They are actually for an aerial tram that goes up to Paradise Point. At the bottom of Flag Hill (at the end of the aerial tram), there is another small hill. On this hill are a group of white buildings, with red roofs, gleaming in the morning sun ... That's Bluebeard's Castle!
This is the only picture that I took this morning, but if y'all want to see more of the island, I'll take some more photos the next time I take my little bi-plane up for another flight.
All the best,
Richard

Nicely done, Richard, a really lovely view.

You must have a really fast camera and finger to be able to throw the plane in perfect formation, grab the camera and get the shot :camera: i just hope, for the sake of the toy you are fast enough to also catch them .
Great job . :lol:

And, that's while I'm drinking my morning coffee! ... ;D
Great job . :lol:
Thank you for your kind words, Rasputin! ... :)

Ooops! ... :o
I wonder what happened to my reply to you, Gordon?
I thanked you and told you that there's no view like the view from a Playmobil bi-plane ... ;)
I wonder what happened?
Maybe I pressed the "Preview" button and forgot to press the "Post" button ... :-[
Regardless, thank you for your generous and thoughtful comment, Gordon.
All the best,
Richard

Hey wait a minute, the klickie in the biplane has black hair and no beard.
Are you pulling a fast one on us, Richard?
Who is that really in the bi-plane???

No "fast one," Tim ...
I was in the Playmobil "photo" bi-plane taking the picture ... ;)
However, next time I'll be in the "other" bi-plane having MY picture taken ... ;D
All the best,

Wonderful shot, Richard! :love:
You truly are blessed to live in such a beautiful place. :)
I'm still kicking myself that I never bought one of these fantastic little planes when they were available as an add-on set at the official site. :doh: :-[
Does anyone know where I can get set 7726 in the UK for a reasonable price?

Well! Look what I found in my basement! (And it's not even on Collectobil (or at least not on my quick check)). I was meticulous as a kid and it appears to have all its parts (including the old schaper instruction manual).
However, I'm really more or less joking about giving it off. If you or somebody had a really good trade (medieval or steck). We could arrange something.
Otherwise I guess I ought to hang on to it. Amusingly, the price tag says it was bought at Kmart on discount for $4.75. I think my uncle bought it for me in 1981 on one of his bargain hunts. In those days, you could find tons of Playmobil at Goodwill stores and Kmart blue light special.

WOW! that old Schaper Racer (set 2004) sure brings back some memories!
Thanks for sharing, Tim.
All the best,

I think you ought to hang on to it. I can see you've looked after the box and the contents really well! :)
Thank you for the offer of a trade, Tim, but I don't think I have anything good enough to swap in return.
I'll keep my eyes peeled on eBay. The re-released add-on set was circa 2004, so there's gotta still be a few of them hanging about in people's homes around the UK. ;)

You never told us whether or not you ever found a little Playmobil bi-plane for yourself.
All the best,

No, I haven't bought one yet, but I'm still hoping to. :yup:
How strange. I was thinking about this myself yesterday, shortly before you posted here.
We must have a telepathic Playmobil connection. ;D
Sylvia you know the story about Andy and Oliver and the bi-planes ?? ;D
I don't think I do... or maybe I did and I've forgotten it... ? Please remind me. ;)
