Popped into Gatwick Aero Park as it re opened yesterday......and found a few pristine old 1/72 Airfix kits......had a few there, i got a Shooting Star and a Thunderstreak......i left (from memory.....) a Viggen, a skinny Mig 21, a Jaguar, a Starfighter and EE lightning. There were others but can't remember them. All at........ £3 each........a novo bristol research aircraft......almost an open cockpit chipmunk/monoplane tigermoth........about 10-12 kits on display.
Spoke to an old chap.....a Sqn Ldr who flew Shackeltons.......great chat......then went onboard all over the Shack there.....an i mean all over.....could sit anywhere but i couldn't squeeze into the seat at the nose for the gunner.......an old navigator on board gave a mini tour and was full of great stories......really enjoyable time.....
