Sometimes I have a day when I don’t have to drive my car for eighteen out of the twenty four available hours in order to twiddle away on a woodwind instrument in unfamiliar surroundings. On these days, I try and slope off to the shed in order to stick aeroplane- shaped bits of plastic together. I’ve been doing this since I was eight, and consider it to be a perfectly acceptable activity for a chap. It was a fine morning on Sunday 4th, so I took the Hasselblad out onto the verandah and came up with these-
Blohm & Voss 238, and some German Soldiers for scale-
And now a selection of US types being built for the 8th Air Force Museum in Bushey-
“The Little Gramper”, a formation leading B-24
“The Memphis Belle”
“Tubarao”, another formation leading B-24
P-38 Lightning
P-47 Thunderbolt
