It looks like a couple of lowlifes broke into East Midlands Aero Park 25th June and did £5000 worth of damage to the museum shop and hanger. Now the guys up there run a good museum and were very helpful to me when I went up there to shoot some walkaround pictures. They are crowdfunding to get the money to repair everything; https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/eastmidlands-aeropark?utm_source=facebook Julien

ICM kits now come in a fully closing cardbox with a hinged lid, a flimsy outer covering goes on top of this. The new boxes are really sturdy. As said with kits, boxes, decals, instructions they are well ahead of where they were. Julien
