Absolutely astounding stuff, my heartfelt thanks to all who have contributed.
In case anyone’s wondering on the model front, the kits etc. I will be using will most likely be as follows:
P7350 XT-D – Tamiya Mk1
EP120 AE-A – Revell MkVb (they even offer this aircraft as an option)
AR501 NN-A – Airfix Vc
MH434 ZD-B – Italeri MkIX
MW732 – Italeri MkIX
PS915 as PS 888 – Czechmaster Resin MkXIV fuselage, wings and canopy modified
PL965 – MPM MkPRXI
PT462 Irish Air Corps 161 – Italeri MkIX with Brigade TrIX conversion
RN201 – Academy XIV with wings clipped
ML407 – Italeri MkIX with Brigade TrIX conversion and canopy from spares box
TD248 – Aeroclub ‘bubbletop’ coversion with Spare MkIX fuselage and MkV wings (or a Heller XVI, I haven’t decided yet, but I have all the other parts.)
I should be finished for the centenary of the BofB…
