During the war there were 17 Squadrons were posted to Bradwell Bay at some point , but I think every squadron that flew from an East Anglian base will have landed at least one aircraft there during WW2 , even though it was not a designated an Emergency Landing Ground , it was often the 1st friendly runway pilots saw , Lancasters and B-17's were seen there with various states of damage !! I forgot the damaged JU-88 that landed there instead of in France ! ( If I had thought about that I could have made that my WW2 1/72nd scale model theme .. )

Its 2024 - my return after 18 months of RL fun will be a Tamiya 1/72 Mosquito Mk II Nightfighter -- I need to find if I can make all black look interesting 157 Squadron spent a few months at RAF Bradwell Bay so the kit fits with my - 'In Essex theme' for WW2 aircraft.

This sounds fun !!! .... not for me though I see it says 'for experienced modelers' on the box , and I also like the face , perhaps it was auditioning for Pixar Films Planes ?

Add me to the list please - my 1st kit was either an airfix spitfire or hurricane around 1975 - I vividly remember the lesson from my dad about not trying to catch the scapel / modelling knife if I dropped it - health and safey !! . Obviously I did catch it one time and nearly 50 years later I can still see the scar ! I would have been a blitzbuild with more glue and paint on me than the model lol!!

Please add me to the list -- last diorama I made was 35+ years ago - Tamiya 1/35 Sherman in the Normandy Bocage made from paper mache / plaster of paris /sponge and bent wire, very messy and lots of fun if I remember

D-Day 80th Anniversary 6th June - 27th September 2024
RJ-WobblyHands replied to JOCKNEY's topic in Future Group Builds
If I remember my 'O' Level modern history (wow 40 years ago only seems like last year !! ) D-Day was Operation Neptune, which was the start of Operation Overlord , or the Battle of Normandy , and that concluded with Liberation of Paris at the end of August 1944 . -
I will already have my tickets

Count me - will have plenty of inspiration from RIAT 2024 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of the F-16 Fighting Falcon’s first flight, and with over 4600 airframes manufactured over the last five decades, the aircraft has become one of the most successful combat jets in history. To celebrate this, the Royal International Air Tattoo 2024 will host a global celebration of the F-16 Fighting Falcon in conjunction with Lockheed Martin. The focal point being a static line-up of F-16 from around the world and of course impressive flying demonstrations of the F-16.
