Same as usual for me, all 1/72 Lightning F1/3, I guess a tub would be too much to ask Javelin Canberra Sea Vixen and I guess a new Jag and Hunter family wouldn’t go amiss Last granted wish was the Bucc SD

Iraqi airways Ilyushin Il-76MD colours
Swamp Donkey replied to Einar's topic in Modern - 1969 and onwards
There should also be photos of the B707’s and B737’s knocking around. Very similar livery to the 76’s SD -
Iraqi airways Ilyushin Il-76MD colours
Swamp Donkey replied to Einar's topic in Modern - 1969 and onwards
Einar I was based at LHR when we had numerous visits of these, I think we had 5 one day ( forgive me if this is incorrect, it was a very long time ago). It was a mixture of Air Force machines and Iraqi Airways - these were definitely dark green, not black SD -
Balkan Airlines Ilyushin Il-18V in 1/144 scale
Swamp Donkey replied to Einar's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
That’s lovely. I remember these well SD -
That said, the F-86 selection is pretty saucy, so are the T-33’s… SD

I simply have no idea what to build. I’ve had these Flight Colours decals for as long as I can remember - donkeys years. Suspect I’ll kick off with a CF-104 as I have plenty of Starfighters in the stash SD

future retirement requesting opinion input from anyone
Swamp Donkey replied to brewerjerry's topic in Chat
I did this in reverse. When I met my wife, I was living to the west of London (I was based at LHR) and Mrs SD lived in a small village in rural Essex. Approaching retirement I sold up and moved to Essex. I ‘hated’ it, I’m not built for country living as all the stuff outlined by Dennis didn’t do it for me. Upon retirement we sold up and moved 300 miles north, now living on the coast just 15 minutes train ride to Newcastle and I love it. I filled the car up the other day, first time this year! City life for me, every time SD -

What a beautiful model of a stunning looking machine. Had the pleasure of a flight in ZS-BMH back in 1998 SD -
The Aeroflot 104’s operated Heathrow to Leningrad on a Friday back in the early 70’s, and were low enough over our school to read them off with Mk 1 eyeball, making the most fabulous noise (most aircraft did back then!) SD

Rewatched Goodfellas just last week. Sad news SD

I have very fond memories of driving Luton van’s up to the Mildenhall Air Fetes and Greenham Commons and all sorts of shows for years when I did the air show circuit for Tony. Happy, happy days SD

So sad to hear this. I’ve known Tony and Jan for what must be the thick end of 50 years, and was in TAHS pretty much every week until I moved to the Northeast 3 years ago RIP Tony, you were a cantankerous old sod, but I’ll miss you Mark
