  1. Now that Telford is behind us, I've taken the first opportunity of daylight access since finishing the builds HERE. Whitley T4134 GE-T: This aircraft operated with 58Sqn in 1940 operating from Linton-on-Ouse. On the 10th September, it took off on a mission to Bremen, but was brought down by flak crash landing on Schonhagen beach near Lubeck in Germany. As you can see from the photo's above, the aircraft fortunately came down in one piece and the crew survived becoming POW's. I used the Xtradecal sheet as the basis for the scheme, however it only supplied two tail flashes. As the aircraft had the flashes on both sides of both tails, generic Xtradecals were used to accurately portray the aircraft. The 'T' code was cut from other letters on the sheet. Having built the Frog kit a few years ago with much scratch building, this was a pleasant build. Despite looking somewhat over engineered, it builds up beautifully and I will be building more, with both the maritime and civvy version on the cards. In hindsight, the Tamiya XF-81 dark green looks too light. I've got two bottles whit clearly different shades in them, however there is a possibility that I have added some white previously.....doh! Hampden P1355 OL-W (John Hannah VC): Operating from Scampton in 1940, this aircraft took off on the 15th September successfully attacking enemy barges at the port Antwerp in Belgium. On the return leg, the aircraft received a direct hit from anti-aircraft fire in the rear fuselage igniting a fire, the navigator Sgt. Hayhurst and rear gunner Sgt James bailing and becoming POW's out as a result. As well as the fire melting the aircraft structure, ammunition begun to explode, but Hannah reached for two fire extinguishers and proceeded to bring the fire under control, allowing the pilot P/O Connor to bring the aircraft back safely. Hannah was badly burned in the fire, which is sadly believed to of brought on tuberculosis a year later. Sadly, he passed away from the illness in 1947, his headstone inscribed "Courageous Duty Done in Love, He Serves His Pilot Now Above" The Valom kit is generally pleasant, although the lack of location pins and vague installation of the undercarriage need some care and attention to handle. The main challenge is the transparencies, so the new release with improve transparencies should be a good investment. The clear parts were cobbled together from a mix of Airfix, Valom and Falcon replacements for the airfix kit and really slowed the build down, as much due to motivation as fiddlyness. Thanks for looking Neil
