Models AND tanks, pretty cool.

Hi Bill,

Not so many vehicle pictures taken this year, but it is always a good day out.

Plus if you looked carefully and sneaked about you could see the Great Spotted Docdios (I only know the latin name) plus there was the barrel chested CMOT taking a stroll with its chicks.

It's was a good show and some well restored military vehicles, it was good to meet you both, and i also succumbed to the resicast artillary tractor and gun

I ended up buying the GNR 88mm gun pit.

Hi Keith,

Look forward to the build, the tractor looks daunting lol. Good to meet you too.

Hi Darren,

You didn't mention the barrel roll - 'Queen of the Air'



Cheers

A great day.......big thanks to MAFVA for the effort to make this one of the highlights of the year.......great to see there Darren......your daughter is real star, a chip off the block. Alan, it was great to spend some time with you, our list of "wants" is increaing.

Morning George,

The Duxford show always has a good feel about it. The combination of models and vehicles works well and with so much to see one never quite gets around it all.

It's always good to see you, but their is never enough time. Hats off to both you and Graham, the 8 inch Gun and Artillery Tractor are super looking kits.

I'll look forward to this years developments.

Stay well.

Cheers

Al

Duxford is fun anytime.

The Colindale RAF museum is also a rousing good time, too, and closer-in to London (2 stops from the end of the Northern Line's Edgware branch). Hannant's is also on the same stop, so....

The original Royal Aircraft Factory was there, and their string bag collection is pretty cool.

George it was good to see you looking so well and back in the isle.

Likewise.......any update on the ex Larkhill 6" howitzer ???????

George I will drop you an E-mail as soon as I know that it is fixed and for that matter where it is going to rest.

Thanks......in the email can you let me know about the "other WW1 gun" being restored ??

The last few months has seen the 18pdr stripped down, cleaned, painted and re-assembled as a weaopn of war rather than a gate guardian. one of the 25pdrs has been back dated to a very early gun as well.
