Nice bit on interest thanks. Did they have the squadron markings wrong🤔 I thought I saw one letter then the roundel then 2 letters! I thought it should be 2 roundel 1.
Hi all, Iv'e just watched Angels One Five, for about the 10th time, it has some great footage of Battle of Britain era Hurricane's. Many close ups at dispersal takeoff and landing, also many WWII era aircraft recognition posters in the back ground in the dispersal huts. A really great film in my mind for the time. Hope you look it up and enjoy.

I was travelling from Spain with my family about 7 or 8 years ago, I saw a guy in the departure lounge with a plexi glass canopy by his feet, I just went up to him and said Hurricane? he said yes, I can't remember the conversation but he was restoring a Hurricane and had just picked it up to take back to the UK. Strange interesting but true! My daughter asked how I new, considering my aviation interest and all the air shows we had been to how could I miss it. Made my day.
Re projects in the offing, Iv`e just finished a Tamiya 1/48 MK1 Spitfire which I`m quite happy with, and a Tamiya 1/48 US navy Sky Raider (USS Midway decals) a rather sad looking Airfix 1/48 Boulton Paul Defiant. I`m half way through a Tamiya 1/32 M48 Tank. My next new start is an Eduard 1/48 MK XIc Spitfire, with no pilot supplied which I`m not overly chuffed about, so I`ll be looking for the cheapest way to get a pilot without paying £8.00 + postage for a whole frame. I start 2 or 3 projects at a time and move from one to another as each stage settles down.
