Quiet Mike Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 In my dim and distant I was part of a living history group called the Khaki Chums. On Saturday we had our first reunion since we hung up our uniforms a few years ago when we collectively became too old to portray convincing soldiers. As usual when we get together we play the 'Airfix Game', and were very humbled to get recognition from Airfix themselves, through the powers of social media. (Hopefully this link will take you to the post on twitter) Anyone else play it? For those in the dark, someone assumes a pose from one of Airfix 1/32 or 1/76 figure sets, and everyone else has to guess who he is. WW2 figures are a good start, but other periods are a bit trickier. We've been playing it since the 1980s, but I've not encountered the game outside the Khaki Chums. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil.C Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I love that pic @Quiet Mike! Looks like a village hall out of Dad's Army and what a great idea for a game. Takes me back to Infantry combat group etc etc. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAVY870 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 This would have been epic fun back in my service days especially if well lubricated and performed at a RAAF base airman's mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
