In memoriam Mike McEvoy 2nd TAF / What-If 2nd TAFGroupbuild

[Ralph]

Evening all,

Having heard the Mike McEvoy of Scale Aircraft Modelling and Grumpy Old Midelker fame has just passed away, I am moved to propose a 2nd TAF group build in his memory, given his RAF service in Germany in the 50s. Many of his many What-ifs very often had 2nd TAF heraldry, and there's any number of interesting subjects from this time. I am sure he will be a familiar name to many Britmodellers of a certain age; I still buy old SAMs to read his stuff, and was so pleased to see him resume his Tail Pieces in the last year or so.

I am sure Hunters would figure prominently, perhaps one in particular! Perhaps it could be a mix of real 2nd TAF Aircraft models and What-ifs (or as he referred to it, 'counterfactual' modelling!) in 2nd TAF markings?

Saddened to just hear this now. 

 

Massive Fan of his Whatifs and would definitely like to take part.
