PaulR 642 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) When: 16th April 2016 to 14th August 2016 Hosts: PaulR, TrickyRich and Col. Evening all,Have been perusing alot of enthusiast forums with lots of shots of the heydays of Mildenhall airshow, and have been reminded of all the variety of aircraft types and schemes to be seen at that time. Just a pity we lived under the threat of imminent nuclear armageddon! Mind you there were some compensations...BT and CR coded F-15Cs, LN/UH F-111s, A-10s, Spang F-4s, late Lightnings, aggressor F-5s, Honington Tornadoes, early Mig29s (not that you have seen them at Mildenhall at that time!), European F-5As, Starfighters... well, you get the idea! Plus, there was all the music... possible idea for a group build?Paul Edited December 6, 2015 by Mish 6 Link to post Share on other sites

whitestar12chris 2,438 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi Paul would this group build be limited to aircraft only? Got lots of submarines from this period. If open to other craft count me in. All the best Chris Link to post Share on other sites

If open to other craft count me in. All the best Chris Hallo Chris, hadn't actually considered this, but why not? Could do tanks as well; it would simply have to be something from that specific time period and theatre. Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AnonymousDFB1 2,743 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Sounds like an inclusive idea, not sure about the music though Would we be limiting this to European and I take just the time period covered would be the 80's? Just trying to cover the questions before we get too carried away. Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Marshall 3,267 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Sounds good - How about having it as a "Cold War" GB, covering say 1975-1990 for any equipment used by either side, whether it floats, flies or drives, so that anything goes. This would include none european, however that is slightly different to NATO vs Warsaw Pact. Link to post Share on other sites

bootneck 4,100 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I remember those tanks, all painted up like buildings, or was it blocks of binary code?? Link to post Share on other sites
Paul J 9,154 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I did once suggest a NATO GB but it got poo- pooed! Due to so many variables etc. But Hopefully it will get a go ahead. If so I'll join in happily. Link to post Share on other sites
hgbn 683 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Sign me up please. Gives me a excuse to build a overall green F-100 or a F-104 in RDAF markings 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Caerbannog 2,592 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Sounds interesting - although I have not much to enter. Would a RAF GR Mk1 Tornado from 1990 in display markings be still OK? Rene Link to post Share on other sites

PaulR 642 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks for the interest so far! Anybody else? Another thought... Torrejon F-16s and Italian starfighters? Frontal aviation mig 23s? Link to post Share on other sites

vppelt68 6,576 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I read Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising at least once a year. Wouldn't that be a good theme for this Group Build: If it's mentioned in the book it's allowed. That would mean awful lot of stuff at sea, air and land. Just a suggestion 😊.
