Saw the article on it in Airforces Monthly, Youve realy done the subject proud. Lovely model.

Any chance you could upload the photos again? I'd love to see what it looked like.

Pics of the real thing, now back in Afghanistan and re-painted.

(Not sure how to call it 'Linky' but if this doesn't link, copy and paste into the address bar. Great photos).

I wrote that article in Airforces Monthly many moons ago. I spent a considerable amount of time down on Salisbury Plain chasing after the two Hips and ended up with some great photographs. The photos were compiled into a photobook and all the British instructors bought a copy when the project was ending.

It’s probably ok to say now. When they were at Boscombe (I worked there) I had free access to the Hangar they were operating out of. No photo’s allowed but the good old note pad and unrestricted wandering over the aircraft gave me everything I needed👍.
