Thats the one that had Space Hoppers under the fuselage centreline and Pogo-sticks under the wing rather than a standard undercarriage to help land in dug over muddy woodland areas. Negating the issue surrounding the rivets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I think he's about to attempt re-entry" Allan ps - While on the Moonraker/ space sort of theme, how about Airfix reissue the Saturn V/Saturn 1B. After all, next year IS the 50th anniversary of the moon landing! pps - Yes, this is a desperate attempt to get back ON topic!

I saw them in Birmingham on Tuesday last week. As you say, amazing. I hope Airfix don't base any new spitfire on the one at the concert! It was an unexpected moment when Bruce paid tribute to the women pilots who delivered planes during the war, as well as the pilots, some of whom Bruce said were just a third of his age (he's 60) when they flew in the war.

Lord Riot Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 A new tool Vulcan would be more than welcome, especially if it included an option to make a B.1, or a B.1A. Or at least with alternative jet pipes for Olympus 201s and 301s. And an HS748. Oh and an Andover E.3 please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I correct in thinking that Alan Hall did one of his splendid conversions to this variant in the original Airfix Magazine back in the late 60s/early 70s?

Andrew Jones Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I can remember Alan W Hall doing a Hercules variant of the skyhook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Sorry for wandering off topic but for me Skyhook is that wheeze Vosper Thorneycroft had for VTOL aircraft to hover alongside a ship and be plucked onboard by a kind of glorified cherry picker arm. So the idea of a Skyhook B-17 or Hercules was rather boggling the mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
