I have these two in the back of my building if anyone wants to fix them up.
Nice - a pair of Seabees?

Coming from Kent, I remember my father taking us to Headcorn way back in the '70s. I loved it.
Up here in the Highlands we see very few warbirds.
I had the pleasure back in 2015 of watching the Canadian Lancaster - Vera fly over the house on that fine morning while she was transiting from Reykjavik to Coningsby to join the BBMF Lanc PA474 for that amazing month of 2 Lancaster bombers flying together around the UK.
Fantastic. Mk XIX and a Hurricane to add a little extra delight!Here you go. That same flight doing a flypast over Detling (my house) in Kent. What a magnificent spectacle.

I had a bit of fun going for a taxi ride in NX611 Just Jane back in 2002.
Airfix (I seem to recall) did a very nice Hawker Hunter model.

My all-time favourite military aircraft, though, is the beautiful single seat Hawker Hunter. There were two squadrons of Hunters in Bahrain while I was posted there, and one of these aircraft is now on show at the RAF museum in Hendon. Also, I often drive past the Hunter gate guard at RAF Halton, and can't resist giving it more than a glance.
Did that a few times in the Gulf, the SAR crews were always on the lookout for 'bodies' for their training flights. I worked shifts, so was often available. Two types of winching, one being dry winching, usually onto a wrecked ship, or under an overhang in the desert somewhere.and apart from fun things like being winched into a Wessex
Yes I saw that. It was not finished.I was watching something on TV recently that featured one of these taxi trips and it took me a while to figure out why the aeroplane looked wrong - it had no ailerons or elevators fitted!
Here you go Bruce:

Thank you for posting. Great looking models there.
It takes me back to the early sixties and 2/6 Saturday pocket money. That would buy most of the smaller Airfix kits. Two weeks worth of pocket money would graduate one into Lancaster’s etc.
The glue always came in tubes which were designed to spit the stuff onto the clear plastic canopies [emoji25]
But I loved them. In my later years I stuck with it (excuse the pun) and moved into Tamiya F1 kits, air brushes etc.
I am looking for a large scale Fokker Tri-plane detailed model?
