Happy anniversary! I’ve got an Airfix 1/48 Tiger Moth that I’m going to start next week. I’m going to put it in the De Havilland GB and it’s going to be an RAAF example from the 1941-42 period.

Happy Anniversary RAAF!
And if you decide to GB it, count me in, my friend @kalamazoo!
Allan J Withers said on April 2, 2021
Thanks Spiros, will let you know !

Alan, @kalamazoo
Happy Anniversary RAAF !
I have a 1/48 scale Boomerang made by LTD that I could build for your group, should you decide to start it. I could also find some decals for other Australian aircraft.
Also FYI, I plan on unleashing the "Luftwaffe" group build on May 1st. It will be the anniversary date of the founding of the Imperial German Air Force. It happened 111 years ago, on May 1st, 1910. This way we can build up our stash of ww1 / Great War aircraft as well as the current modern day aircraft they currently fly.

What a nice idea to chose May 1st, as the launching date of your GB, my friend @lgardner!

Thanks Louis, so many GB's, let's see how much interest there is for another !

Happy Anniversary RAAF from me also, Allan (@kalamazoo). I did some flying in Australia when I flew C-141s, and I always had a good time when I visited RAAF bases.

Thanks George, did you visit RAAF base Richmond NSW ?
