I must confess I did not think of doing a search. Thanks for all the replies so far

Does anyone know the name of the font that the RAF used in the 1950s and 1960 for e.g. underwing serials? Alternatively, does anyone know the closest match using one supplied by Microsoft? Thanks id advance

Fairey's test pilot Peter Twiss described the aircraft as a "nasty little box"

In the recent past, I have been the recipient of a few items that have helped me complete a model. These have come courtesy of generous modellers answering my requests via this forum. I would like to redress the balance by offering some surplus parts that may be of use to someone out there. The parts in question are 2 sprues (sprue B) containing the armament from an Airfix 1/48th Canberra B(I)6 / B20 kit, product no. A10101A If these are of any use to someone, please e mail me cm_royleAThotmail.com (AT = @ and note 1. the underscore between cm and royle and 2. there is no a in my surname) Best wishes Chris Royle😅

this is not the wanted section. Do not place sale or wanted adds anywhere else. You need 100 posts to use those areas. Please read the site rules.

Does anyone know the shades of red and white (or is it off white or pale Ivory) used by Hawker on the 2 seater flown by Bill Bedford at the 1960 SBAC Farnborough Air Show. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Due to to the generosity of 2 fellow modellers, I now have replacement canopys for my 1/32nd Revell Hunter. This website is a brilliant resource. Thanks again chaps and seasonal greetings to all. Chris

Ivor, Please e mail me cm_royleAT (=@)hotmail.com Many thanks Chris

Ivor Thank you. One is on its way from Tony, but if I make a mess of that, then perhaps I can take up your kind offer. 🙂 This forum is really remarkable. Thanks. Chris

Tony. Thanks. PM sent

Folks. I have made a mess of the canopy on this model. Revell are unable to supply a spare as the kit is now discontinued. Has anyone got a spare they could let me have? Happy to pay and pay postage etc. Thanks in advance. Chris Royle

Gentlemen. What a fantastic resource this forum is. Thank you to all. I now have all the information I need. 71Chally, a number of us from West London Aero Club at White Waltham were all set up for a fly in visit to SWAM in early May, but then the wretched COVID struck! Hope to make it when you start allowing visitors again.. St Athan has a particular place in my family's hearts. My younger brother served in the RAF, and after initial training at Halton, was posted to St Athan doing majors on Vulcans. Then followed a 5 year stint with the BBMF at Coningsby, and then posted back to St Athan as team leader on Tornado majors. He was moved from that task to oversee and manage the re-sparring of the BBMF Lancaster, a job for which he was subsequently awarded the MBE. Last, I had the best birthday present for my 60th, flying in a Hunter T8C WV322 from Exeter with Chris Heames in command, and looked after by John Sparks' team. As you will know, he and his merry men are now at St Athan.

Brilliant! Many thanks chaps. Is that the Shackleton at Coventry 71Chally?

I have just started building the Frog Shackleton MR3. Can I ask for help with colours of the interiors of the bomb bay (and the bomb doors) and the wheel wells. Many thanks in advance Chris
