Just about to embark on an evening of red wine and King Crimson Why not? SD

Had a Skyvan very low level the other day - fantastic!

I love it! Happy days SD

Got mine yesterday, very nice. Airfix Phantom #2 will receive the treatment SD

I’ve been in touch with Roger, and looks like Volume 3 is a matter of just a very few months away. SD

1/72 Buccaneer 1/72 Lightning F1/F3 Simples SD

Once I’ve wrestled this Airfix machine in to submission, I will build both at once. it was a long, long time ago since I built the Fujimi Phantoms SD

But back to the thread... didnt do a lot of flying on BCal, did a 111 back from FRA, B747 (G-HUGE? Would need to look it up) to DXB (when DXB was fun),and back from ATL on G-DCIO, but that was BA by then SD

I went to school in Langley, and every Friday as we tipped out of school the Aeroflot Tu104 to Leningrad would whistle over. I used OH-KDA as my alarm clock, and the National B747 (to Miami, or was that the Delta?) was a sight and sound to behold!!! Swissair Coronado’s disappearing in their own smoke, the fabled TAP jumbos........I could go on for hours!!

I used to sit on the grass (inside the fence) at the holding point of what would have been 28L. Pan Am and TWA B707F, TMA DC6 etc taxied past - seem like the wings would be over our heads - happy happy days SD

Courtline BAC111 diversions from LTN we’re always a welcome sight at LHR SD

They all look great, and I think Paul J is correct about the VC10. Also love the old BY B737’s and Air Europe machine. Do I also spy a Redcoat Brit? Golden days SD

Fabulous! Where’s the VC10? SD

The Royal Air Force got their hands on Gods finest in late 1959 Count me in with an early Lightning F1 SD

I remember nothing but pleasure in building Fujimi Phantoms and all those lovely Modeldecals (regret none survived a couple of house moves) I'm sorry to say I’m not enjoying the Airfix offering as much, but it has rekindled my interest in the subject Fortunately I have quite a few Fujjmi’s in the stash, and I will hang on to them once the 20’ container is ‘liquidated’!
