Sea King HAR.3 XZ599/S, RAF Sea King Training Unit (RAFSKTU), based at RNAS Culdrose, as it appeared for the Air Day in July 1985 - and as filmed the following month whilst airlifting Richard Branson and the crew of the sunken Virgin Atlantic Challenger from the ship that rescued them from the Atlantic.

 

Modified Revell kit with added internal and external details, brush-painted, markings from Modeldecal Sheet 71 with additional homemade DayGlo lettering.

 

The first two photos are of the completed model before the collapse of the display cabinet's shelves, and the last three are after its restoration over the following three days - as per the build thread, which can be viewed here:

No. 452 (RAAF) Squadron Spitfires 

Airfix Mk.IIa - P7973 - flown by Keith 'Bluey' Truscott 

Tamiya Mk.Vb - W3821 'Pemba III' flown by Raymond 'Throttle' Thorrold-Smith

 

Here is my contribution to the Royal Air Force Centenary Group Build. Titled the 'Colonial Contribution' its a small memento to honour the thousands of servicemen and women who mostly volunteered to join the RAF from all parts of the Commonwealth. No. 452 Squadron was initially equipped with Mk.IIa's, which were soon replaced by Spitfire Vb's during the latter half of 1941. During it's approximate 12 months of European active duty, 452 was to become one of the most successful Channel Front units and boasted a fine collection of leaders and an eclectic bunch of jovial characters. I'm sure this lot drank their fair share of brown ale as well, so on that note ..... here's a big Cheers from me - now where's that XXXX? 

 

Oh - the WIP thread is here.

Kind regards.. Dave

Airfix Gladiator MkII 1/72.

 

Finished as HE-J of 263 squadron on the first tour of the unit to Norway.

 

When evacuating after only a few days the plane was one of the many left destroyed on the ice of the lake used as airfield. No 263 made two trips to Norway; the first ending abrubtly after lack of support and relentless German bombing destroying most of the airplanes on ground. They still managed to claim several bombers. The second trips lasted longer and saw many sorties, but ended tragically: the squadron was evacuated by the Glorious, and bar a few men who went with other ships, the entire squadron went down when Glorious was sunk.
