    Hi, are the older pics not pre-Vichy? if it's the film type, it implies yellow tails are original, perhaps? Regards Don

    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?

    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.

    Yes, keep going with the build, I have to admit I thought it was a what-if before the original pics appeared. don

    Flying over Calverton, Notts, Hurricane and three Spits on their way to Welshpool, according to the schedule, maybe Cosford

    Not over the house, but a Wildcat flew over the A453 at Barton, around 9am, did some circling over Attenborough, looking like a police helicopter, then landed at Chilwell.

    Like Mr Dapple, my first thought was 'Bakelite' not wood. All the best Don

    Nice work, starting to look like an image from the Wonder Book of Planes

    Hi, may I watch? Like Mr Beard I got my my overtrees out last night and promptly put them away again, relieved to download the instructions and note that a lot of the tiny parts were not for use. On your intro, my mother always used to tell me that 'the bombs were dropping on Poland' when they got married.

    Great model work, those smoke deflector A3s looked the best. When I saw them, they were so mucky they could have been painted any colour. I went to Dunfermline High, where the main line ran beside the sports fields so watched the WDs on the coal trains as well as the expresses before the Glenfarg line was closed.

    Our geochemical data in the 70s was punched up by twins who sat back to back and the two trays of cards were compared and any mismatches checked. The programmes were invariably frequency analysis and read in in the morning and you might get a result by lunchtime, if you hadn't forgotten a comma, so the programme cards were kept safe for each batch rather than new ones punched.

    Thanks, Greenshirt. I presume they used a brush?

    The canopies do not look very clear, is that the salty air?

    I have a print of the ground crew at Ludford Magna c. winter 1943 and they are all wearing forage caps, apart from someone in the background, standing on the Coles crane, with a peaked cap and the WRAFs with their own headgear. It's interesting that they mostly seem to be in collar and ties as well, with various dustcoats, overalls, tunics, etc.

    Military short body Hercules over work, heading in to EMA. Brown camouflage
  21. Teuchter
    Short nosed Hercules on its way into EMA just now, didnt show up on Flight radar

    Some accounts here of single seat Gnats in combat. No reference to missiles bring carried. Lots of good stories of the IAF to be found on this site. https://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/history/1965war/1332-manna-murdeshwar.html

    AWACS over Keyworth, in the circuit for EMA

    Great progress. The 'Srs1' ? body that Shermaniac has just posted does not seem to have had its arches modified, but it also lacks the panel under the door. Those wheels look like military trailer wheels. The tracks look like the muskeg ones I remember back in the 70's.

    The cutaway is in the separate panel that sits below the door
