Refurbished a number of times over the intervening years. In the markings of 120 Squadron based at RAF Kinloss in Scotland in the 1960s. I have a particular passion for aeroplanes with salty wings................. My Shackleton about 20 years ago. My Shackleton in the all over sea grey scheme in which the Shackleton MR3 first entered service in 1959.

I'm really enjoying your diorama instalments Adey, they give me a nice dose of nostalgia. They take me back to a time when the RAF had lots of aeroplanes that were designed for specific roles and aircraft weren't all grey. This gave us enthusiasts, spotters and modellers a wonderful selection of types to record, photograph or build. So, you've become my supplier and this plastic junkie needs a regular fix Thanks again for sharing them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adey m Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 A fabulous 1/144 scale diorama seen at Scale Model World of an actual event that happened. On 3 March 1946 a Railway Air Services Dakota took off from Northolt Airport in London on a flight to Glasgow. The aircraft failed to gain height due to ice and crashed onto a house in Ruislip, London. All five occupants of the Dakota were able to climb down from the roof and nobody was hurt in the house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
