thomastmcc Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Looks good .. How many Pumas we actually got left I thought it was more than just 24 .. Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foghorn Leghorn Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 A great example of "Always the bridesmaid, never the bride", always overlooked. And, it goes without saying, we're overdue a decent Puma kit 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I was speaking to the pilots/crew of the one at RIAT, and although they mentioned they were retiring the last of them soon (was it late this year?), they didn't mention the new one coming on stream... weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperUK Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) The Puma at RIAT "Black Peter" was one of the new HC.2 ones ,they may have meant the few HC.1s that were not being upgraded like XW222 that is now with the Ulster Aviation Society Edited November 5, 2014 by sniperUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Wibble... it was a few months ago, I was all wobbly at the time, and I've slept a lot since then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Very nice to see and hear an accurate report. It might all we could afford, but its given a rather tired and rather demanding old lady a real lease of life. But I'm rather biased... Please Mr Airfix - a 1/48th one? Life's too short to try fixing the Heller 1/50 in the stash. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latinbear Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Shame for British industry that the RAF rebuilds were being done by the Rumanians. Presumably price was the determining factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
