    Great work on the Bisley, as usual. For a bit of British history that folks overlook, you might take a look at this account of the Scottish/English border conflicts https://www.abebooks.co.uk/Steel-Bonnets-Story-Anglo-Scottish-Border-Reivers/22535119352/bd?cm_mmc=gmc-_-used-_-PLA-_-v01&product=COUK9780330238571USED He writes well, and you should look at his Flashman Stories and his autobiography about the 14th Army in Burma.

    Nice work on this. I remember a similar, possibly SWB, vehicle mouldering away on the farm. Possibly ex RN, as I recall very worn thin blue paint over white. We were near Rosyth and various supply depots. Not the sort of thing kids took pictures of in those days. Don

    Definitely the B&V!

    Hi, CC, if you search the site for 'Inpact', the original mould of the Lindbergh, you will find several threads talking about comparisons between the Furies.

    I like the pics of the belly landed Bucc in 71Chally's link, really makes it look like a beached dolphin! Thanks for sharing Don

    Those sprues look familiar, still the same plastic as the Inpact kit I built back in the 60s? I think I chose this one as it looked simple, just some wings and tail planes... Rigging? I think my Flycatcher lurks in the loft somewhere.

    Apologies if anyone else has posted this. I've just seen a film on you tube called High Flight, I suppose it's the RAF answer to Carry on Sergeant, but set at Cranwell. Lots of nice shiny Piston Provosts, Vampires and Valletta. Then they graduate to Hunters. Lots or air to air shots. Cant seem to link to it from IPad. Don

    Thanks, just pass us over the turnstiles....

    Not to mentions us lurkers peering in through the windows to see what they all get up to this time

    I had a look at the Wellington insides on the Airfix stand, amazing amount of detail crammed in, how about an extra fuselage half to display it? otherwise it mostly disappears.

    Am I naive wondering why the CAA don't use use the Monarch crews, slots and planes to bring home the stranded passengers at their scheduled times, rather than chartering?

    Amazing - it only dawned on me what size a 1/72 ship would be when I saw the box. Will follow this one, take your time. Good luck. Don
  16. Teuchter
    Wonderful!

    Hmm, another Cavok AN12 flight, over and Flightradar24 shows a Ukrainian Airlines AN12 landing at Finningley
  18. Teuchter
    Cavok Air AN-12 on its way to Finningley according to Flightradar, just now

    Hi, are the older pics not pre-Vichy? if it's the film type, it implies yellow tails are original, perhaps? Regards Don
  20. Teuchter
    Great modelling. I notice that the sepia pics of the ambulance seem to show the same colour demarcation under the tail as the desert craft. Could this be a tail marking rather than camouflage?
  21. Teuchter
    Hi, great to see you modelling again. Re Dunkirk. It gets a good review here https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/jul/23/dunkirk-review-terrifyingly-immersive-christopher-nolan from usually reliable Mark Kermode. My uncle was one of the unlucky ones and got captured with the 51st HD at St. Valery.

    My late father in law, a flight engineer, was a survivor of a Halifax, shot down in Northern France after D day. Most of the rest of the crew died, but he landed with two broken arms and was kept hidden by French civilians till the army arrived.
  23. Teuchter
    Yes, keep going with the build, I have to admit I thought it was a what-if before the original pics appeared. don
  24. Teuchter
    Martian, they are showing ok on my iPad now. Don
