AnonymousA667 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 What is this clear bench you speak of?! Your name on the list was a jest, but if you're intending to participate that is great, I will do an update when you know what you want to do. peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brews Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) Can I take it you are proposing to get your builds to the UK? Yes, definitely. Two small armoured cars shouldn't be a drama. Edited May 13, 2008 by Brews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brews Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Good oh!peebeep no worries, Jen. I've filled it out already: "Antique, valuable, toys", right? Seriously, I believe the term is "Old models" - that's what you used, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennygman Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I'm toying with the idea of the Airfix HMS Belfast with White ensign etch. Does that fit the bill (not sure about 'best of breed', but she is a D-Day veteran)? Never built a ship 'seriously' but I'm willing to give it a go. Steve.

Seriously, HMS Belfast was a significant bit of RN kit and is now a national treasure. It is 613'-6" of British Best-ness. peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markc Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 OK this looks fun, I was planning to be at Telford whatever so keen to play and put something on the table. At present thinking one tanky thing and one wingy thing, but what to do Tanky thing will probably be something based on a Warrior or Challenger Wingy thing, was thinking along the lines of a two seater either Hawk, Gnat or possibly a Hunter. I was also bouncing about the idea of a Jet Provost, not the most glamorous of jets but one that performed sterling service training most of our pilots (and navigators) for a significant portion of the post war period. I await the decision of our esteemed arbitrators of Great Britishness. Anyhoo I'll have a rummage at through the boxes see what whets the appetite and confirm over the next few days. I used to be indecisive you know, but now I'm just not sure any more. Cheers MarkC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousA667 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Tanky thingums are a bit outside my remit, but as far as I'm aware the Warrior should be OK - unless Sean decides otherwise. We already have a ruling on Challengers. Hunters, Gnats and Hawks are all I was also bouncing about the idea of a Jet Provost, not the most glamorous of jets but one that performed sterling service training most of our pilots (and navigators) for a significant portion of the post war period. I await the decision of our esteemed arbitrators of Great Britishness. I would give you every possible encouragement to follow this course, because JP's are just sooo British! Go on, you know you want to. peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 There's a good chance I might be in on this one now, with a Hunter of a type yet to be determined. I need to ask a few stupid questions of the more learned members before I confirm though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landy's are definitely in , go anywhere in the world and you are likely to see one. Do they ever wear out, I ask?

AndyL Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Paul, Can you add a Churchill Petard to my submission - and I hope to attend both days. I thought it would be a good to do a 'Hobarts Funny' to celebrate just how good us Brits are at engineering things in times of crisis!

AnonymousA667 Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 It does occur from time to time Daz, although I have much to learn about tanky thingums: I have an Airfix Churchill near completed, so it is always possible I might do something for this GB. Matchbox Comet maybe? That represents British excellence does it not? peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I have any problems - I'll ask Daz for advice! Nice having King of the Treadheads on the forum - I'm nowhere as good as him, but I'll give it a go.
