    Could it be the apron in front of D Sqn to the South of the main runway? If so those danger area circles could be for the D Sqn helicopters.

    Considering the difficulty kids have in making paper darts at the aircraft museum where I work I applaud Airfix with this new release. Now if it was only a starter kit.

    I work at the Army Flying Museum where we have a Scout fitted with missiles, so I know what the pylons look like. As for the stretcher pods they just clamped to the undercarriage horizontal members.

    So its coming as a combined Scout/Wasp moulding, which is nice, as I was having to consider buying a Wasp kit just for the floatation kit that was fitted to some Hong Kong Scouts. I can see the missile support beams on the frames (Pt No 39) but no missiles, so presumably, yes.

    When we were writing the Specification for the A400M the Warrior was one of the UK specified vehicles, as it was (then) within the 37 tonne capacity of the aircraft. Mind you the UK also had the AS90 on the list, but the joke was that to airlift 1 AS90 needed three A400Ms, one for the base vehicle, one for the turret and gun and one for the crane to dismantle/reassemble the AS90 🙂

    About the same as a Breguet Atlantic then. The tip jet noise had been reduced by the time the project was cancelled.

    Especially the SU fuel pump.

    I can recall seeing a picture of a Sopwith Tabloid (I think) embedded in a radio mast with the caption stating the pilot was rescued by someone who climbed the mast.

    Ancient Frog kits had a custom compartment for the lead (sweetie sized) weights supplied with the kit - I wonder why no one does that today. 🙂

    It was revealed as 'New Parts' so the spinnerless prop the only new part or are we getting the larger bore (cockpit heater) exhaust and modified lower cowling as well? Also didn't the royal Scheme Chippy have a carbuncle of an anti collision light on the canopy?

    Or a 1:24 P39 Airacobra. Plenty of scope for re pops in colourful schemes.

    Make your mind up. It's either missiles or stretcher pods, not both. What rear door options? I can feel the heat from the hole being burnt in my wallet already.

    Is it sacrilege to suggest something I'd like to see Airfix produce in their Quickbuild range? Doubting that I'll ever see an accurate kit (in any scale) of the Airspeed Horsa I have been suggesting to Airfix, at every opportunity, that the Horsa would make a good subject for a Quickbuild kit, just so long as it was to a War game scale. The Quickbuild system would allow the aircraft to be built complete, tail off for unloading, or damaged in a crash as required.

    Any chance of another engine change for the Wellington? Hercules engines and a 4 gun rear turret will bring the Mk III and Mk X into play. As to the Whitley, a re-issue with the addition of a glider tow yolk would be appreciated.

    What anniversaries are there next year? We all know Airfix like an anniversary themed release. Its the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Europe so that's plenty of ideas for new tools and reissues of existing ones and to keep Mr Boak's hopes up, it's the 60th anniversary of the TSR2 first flight.
