RobMac Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) I was thinking about group builds and wondered what else we could do. I then thought about this Royal Aircraft Establishment Build as an idea. The common thought would be Rasberry Ripple schemes but I'm thinking that we do not have just aircraft in the usual red, white and blue colours but aircraft that wore the colours of just red and yellow, common at RAE Bedford and Llanberdr for example. Their are a lot of aircraft that had these colours between the 1960's-80's. I remember being on holiday when a kid at a Caravan site at the end of Llanbedr's runway and watching Meteors guiding in Jindervik remote aircraft and skidding them in on the runway into a catch net. I think the options available would be quite substancial and would also make a great Group Build. What do you think people?

Miss Lace is on the shelf Tom. Never intended it to be a quick build and the thread as it is, is how far I've got. Metal materials is an issue at the mo and may need to compramise.

F111Fan Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I may end up building Alley Cat's 1/48th GAF Jindivik based at RAE Llanbedr-I was on holiday near that very air station 2 weeks ago! Had no idea that it was an RAE base though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMac Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) Got a lot of memories of Llanbedr like I said when on holidays as a kid there, especially the Jindi's being skidded in. Edited August 8, 2010 by RobMac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notdoneyet Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) I may end up building Alley Cat's 1/48th GAF Jindivik based at RAE Llanbedr-I was on holiday near that very air station 2 weeks ago! Had no idea that it was an RAE base though I'm building one at the moment (as a tribute to the years I spent trying to shoot them down ) - it's a lovely little kit. I'm interested in the GB too - a Hawk (XX154) and/or a Meteor U.16 Drone (WK800) beckon methinks ....

Giorgio N Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Oh dear, that would be a very interesting GB, with plenty of subjects... I'd like to take part as I'm planning a build of XP605, using a matchbox gnat. Problem is that without knowing when the GB will be it's hard to be 100% sure of taking part. However I'd be very interested ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
