qn30jEkPz7 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Mojo restoration in the form of two basic Airfix kits without much in the way of frippery from me The starter set Jet Provost in the box scheme. Inititally started in the blitzenbuild GB when I got over confident and tried to fo 2 kits in a day. Needless to say this is the one that didn’t get finished in time. And a DH Chipmunk finished as the AEF plane that I had my first flight in. Made from an elderly Airfix kit with minor mods of a shifted exhaust, added anti spin strakes and a blade aerial.

riever49 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Amazing that they were still using Chipmunks in 1990. I had my first AEF flight in one in 1965, at RAF Turnhouse, Edinburgh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Newsome Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Growing up in the 70's a mile or so from Leeming these two were a very common sight and sound. Very nice work. Roger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
