Dave T – thanks for letting me know about the Matchbox Walrui – just thought they were worth a little more than they are. I stand corrected 🙂

See that Revell are releasing a T-6G? Wonder what the original is, as the kit shown is in Harvard Mk.4 markings and therefore should have a different canopy. Probably won’t as the terrible Airfix one of old had a Mk.IIA/III canopy when was meant to be a Mk.IIB.

It cant be the Heller moulds as this is the new Airfix re-release. The only one I can think of is the Academy version. At £3.99, wonder if I can buy them in quantities of ten!!?

I’ve started to make enquiries, but where exactly is Fremont?

There isnt an airfield at Fremont California, but there are another two such named places in America in Colorado and Ohio. We will get there in the end!!

Don’t remember seeing that outside the Squadron? 🙂

I’ve just discovered two Matchbox Walrus’ (or is that Walrui) in my loft. So what with the Revell re-release does that make the originals worthless? (I know I will buy more though!!).

Umm best result for me is Elf Try – perhaps would be better if they saw how tall I was. (But then sometimes wish I was smaller, cause then I could have fitted in a lot more aeroplanes – I’m blame my parents!).

The RealAir Spitfire Mk.XIV

What a nice photo…almost looks like a period shot. Just by looking at the aeroplane it is a AT-6B,C, D or SNJ-3,4,5. Very difficult to tie down the exact pedigree from the shot taken here. Will try and find out what it exactly is and report back.
