I've also found this site - https://www.kenleyrevival.org/content/history/significant-dates/kenleys-blast-pens - but again no information about those sort of boxes.

Thanks all for the input on this - @Work In Progress I'll take a gander at the links you put up - cheers for that. I realise I can use some artistic licence to choose what's in there - if we can't find an authoritative source/idea but I'm also genuinely intrigued by them now! I'm not remembering seeing them on any other photos of the blast pens, although if anyone does have other photos showing them/similar ones I'd be very much obliged if you could link them in this thread. Cheers David

Hi all, I've an idea in my head to try and build part of a fighter pen for my spitfire model - I'm taken by the aircraft shown in these pictures - but there's a set of boxes on the wall of the pen (It's clearer on pg77 of RAF Tangmere In Old Photos). Does anyone have any ideas as to what they are/were used for/any schematics or anything to help model them? Many thanks in advance David

Thanks all! When I have managed to sort out a proper workbench space I'll try and post some pictures up of what I'm working on!

Reading it back it does sound remarkably like that - I guess it could turn out to be not too far from the truth!

The only problem is that we seem to have added together the costs of plastic surgery and therapy for what this costs!

Thanks @Selwyn. I wonder why they did that?

Hi all, My name is David and I'm returning to the hobby after several years away. My interests are pretty mixed and often come down to whether or not a kit is interesting or not! Looking forward to learning and being inspired on here.

Hi all, I'm going to build a Revell 1/32 eurofighter and was looking at the Aires exhaust sets - what's the difference between early and late and how do I tell which is appropriate for which airframe - it'd be an RAF aircraft but deciding on which one right now. Cheers in advance David

@wellsprop This is probably too late to be of any help - but there's this vid on using the AA tool - looks like scrap metal would work as well? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o10w7aVmIk
