stevej60 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 In CR's defence you can imagine my Dad's reaction when I was fourteen in 1974 and reeling with laughter at Monty Python,he wasn't even spared when it was off screen I still have Matching tie and Hankerchief from the days of vinyl. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Monogram's defence, the Spit II in their boxes was Revell's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 We are called BRITmodeller after all.....Don't expect any of this to make too much sense Oliver, it's an alien world out here! Stick with young Procopius.....You won't go far wrong. In fact I'd happily nominate him for US ambassador to the UK.....It would make it loads easier for him to defect when the time comes! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not something to joke about. Some of us rememember the crash of the Vickers Varsity in which a number of aviation enthusiasts, including Mike Twite who was editor of "Flypast" at the time, were burnt to death.
