Hi All
A few years ago there was what has been described to me as a very large model of a Russian “Bear” aircraft at Bruntingthorpe, I understand that it went to the guy who ran a model helicopter shop in the Hinkley, Leicestershire, area that he may have passed it on to someone else.
Can anyone shed light on this model aircraft? with recent events, it has gained new interest and importance and realy belongs in a museum. I would love to know what happened to it. I do know it had been refurbished before leaving Bruntingthorpe, so is probably still in good condition.

Bear!
Hi Phil
Thanks for that, the reason we are looking for information is that Nev lent it out to someone, and has lost track of it! we know who Nev lent it to, but not what subsequently happened to it. The guy he lent it to has now left the country to live in Portugal I belive.
Nev has lost track of quite a bit of stuff over the years, this week alone I have managed to track down two misiles, a Lightning wind tunnel model and a Bede light aircraft!! and thats just the tip of the iceberg!!!!
And I worry if I cant find a spanner!
Best wishes,
Ritch Blood.

Bear Model
Nev should know but if not Simon Chapman will………..trouble is tracking him down nowadays
it was in the vulcan hangar for a while under the tail of the vulcan next to our beech with a lot of other model type junk.
