    Thanks Paul, the 22 Hunters (14 black) looping at Farnborough in 1958 would have been something to see !

    Excellent news Bernard - good to see some of the earliest aircraft being represented - very interested to see the new Eduard version shape up! Thank you!

    Paul, it's a beaut. Engine detail (depending on kit) for the Hisso or the Viper. Profipak(both of them) have photoetch and multiple markings choices. I'm doing 56 Squadron with the Hisso, which will look familiar. Weekend kit (just out, $10 cheaper here in the former Colonies) has the Viper, and 2 choices, both postwar, Grinnell-Milnes' red fuselage one, and a U.S. Army Air Service 27th Pursuit, I think someplace in Texas. The 27th Fighter is flying the F22 these days. Quite a difference.

    Hi Paul,
    I'm in with the Airfix 1/48 Gloster Meteor F.8 from No. 111 Squadron, RAF North Weald, 1954

    Fantastic Boris - a great choice - especially the North Weald element. There is little that has not flown out of there in RAF (and RFC) history - particularly fighters at Dunkirk and BoB - and not forgetting Allan and Bernard's 'Treble 1' which flew your Meteor too! A really good choice historically!

    I know they are not all Meteors - but I can't resist adding this lot!

    Ah, what a fine film of all the teams I used to see in various magazines! 20+ Hunters! The mind boggles! That's some flying!

    Allan, good to see the prototype, I can remember when it appeared. Been a fan of the aircraft ever since. Good work on both.

    Brilliant Allan - The Harrier is such an icon of the RAF - so good to see one of the earliest versions! Have added them to the list - thank you for your massive contribution!

    Can't resist posting a couple of snaps I took at Biggin Hill in 2010!

    Fantastic John - can't get enough of these V's - less often built - great addition. Thank you.
