  1. And not sure of the year: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10227126290395893&set=g.4644973394 edit - looks like mid 70's, but as she ended up on the gate I assume she saw her time out there through 79
  2. RAFDEC have a yellow 84 Sqn one from 1979: http://tedtaylor.hobbyvista.com/126-rafdec/page-1/page-rf1-7210-7211.html
  3. Interesting effect with the sunlight through a roller blind - it’s the green scheme really
  4. https://www.aviationclassics.co.uk/black-buck/
  5. Another one I've long thought they should do is a new sprue to build Belfast as she was post war / is now. Again, would be a 'way in' for potental new modellers
  6. Like a tired old record, I'll say again - Airfix, please kit the aircraft cadets fly in. Tutor and Viking. Get the young 'uns interested . Offer a varied marking sheet so they can build 'their' aircraft
  7. There were several other mods done at around the same time, so yes AN/ALE 40 but also the old domed red anti coll lights were replaced by the inverted V high intensity strobes. Also ( come on Bob ) the seats should have gone from 9B2 to 9B3 ( bigger headbox ) and possibly the 1148 tailcone mod where the drop down type replaced the noddy cap By the time I joined in 85, most were 1A's, but I was on the mods team that did the last upgrade at Abingdon where they added one after 'the line' had closed, and it got all those mentioned ( XZ381 )
  8. So that's where the Jag got the idea......
  9. Pylon trailing edge is pointed rather than flat, need single wheel rear legs, possible blade re-profiling
  10. I must not weaken and go 1/48 th, I must not w...... 😉
  11. Tyre bay, hyd bay, tank bay - first tour 85-88 Colt............ but at least then we got to go on dets with the Sqns !
  12. Only 3 months in a tyre bay 😉
  13. It looks to me in a lot of the pictures as if there is some kind of cooling fan fitted to the hub, which is a dark colour, and absent in the link to the photo I posted
