617 Sqn Dambuster Lancaster - location of roundel and codes?
Agent K replied to Johnson's topic in Aircraft WWII
Interestingly several references all state it is O and a bar. IWM archives show this photo where all corners are rounded. https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205188284 -
T-Birds with Sharkmouth - Fuerza Aérea Ecuatoriana June 1989
Agent K replied to Basilisk's topic in Aviation Photography
Wow, what an exceptional album there, superb quality photos of a fascinating subject. That shark mouth suits the T-33 so well too! Thanks for sharing. -
Well that scuppers the long time band the B-52's relaunching as the B-52G's (G = geriatric) after going for such a long time.............

New Airfix mystery kit? - Its a 1/48 Westland Lysander
Agent K replied to GMK's topic in The Rumourmonger
Not much of a mystery if they're announcing on Friday that they announced a kit on Tuesday?! -
I've thought that too over a number of years. A nice type along with the likes of the 1:48 Chipmunk and Hunter. You could have the T5 with/without tip tanks, FTS regular ones and in the markings of the various teams of the time (Swords, Poachers etc), and then a whole plethora of varied and interesting Strikemaster markings

1:72 Dora Wings Westland Lysander MkIII (SD)
Agent K replied to Jons's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Magnificent, looks fabulous. I live near Tempsford, the 161 Sqn. wartime base and walk across the airfield a lot thinking and imagining. Also then I live next to Old Warden and see their Lysander at all the airshows. So all in all a type and a mission I'm very fond of and close too and you have replicated that fantastically. Thank you for sharing. -
Air France A220-300 in 1/144
Agent K replied to Skodadriver's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Absolutely superb result for a good looking airliner. -
scale unknown, but likely 1/24 Oreca 07 by Tamiya - wild rumour
Agent K replied to SprueMan's topic in The Rumourmonger
As a long time Endurance Racing fan, I did spot that, and hoped for similar. As an aside the previous week I was on vacation in Japan and made the time to visit the Tamiya Superstore in Shimbashi, Tokyo. What an experience, it's a large store, has a cafe, and a vibe more of Harrods with staff to help. Brought home a couple of models that retail at about 50% of what you'd pay in the UK with the added taxes. And getting to my point it was very heavy in the motorsports section, with a lot of interest so you'd never know! Oh, and yes, I bought the T-Shirt too!!!! -
A fantastic result there! looks amazing.

Airfield marking - what does this warning state:
Agent K replied to bootneck's topic in Real Aviation
Absolutely and pretty much as I said too, ear-defenders on, almost home time, noise, dark, rain, reduced visibility, one has to be so careful, so anything that is mandatory to improve safety of all is welcome. Only today I see the results of a recent event in my part of the business: An aviation firm was fined £160,000 after a tragic incident at Heathrow Airport involving a Dnata Ltd employee who was crushed to death while unloading baggage containers from the hold of an Emirates Airbus A380. the Health and Safety Executive found safety failures, including obscured visibility and lack of sensors. But it's just stupid hi viz and common sense............... 🙄 -
Rough road Afghanistan 1/35 dio civil works
Agent K replied to Stickframe's topic in Ready For Inspection - Dioramas
Very impressive, love it, and the photography and natural lighting makes it look very realistic with good shadows cast too. -

......and when too many preventable industrial incidents occurred until companies were forced to ensure safety of their employees before profit. I for one welcomed my Hi-Viz whilst working on a dark, rainy. noisy airliner ramp in the early days of my aviation career.
