Don’t know the prices in the UK, but I guess that a 350 new can be obtained for a small amount more (they are here around 350 p. st.). So my obtion should be to look for a discounted new 350. Apart from this, what is the price of a 400D? Might be worth to include this in the choice.I should’nt go for the 10D.

Well, severall Avengers of the Dutch Navy were obtained by the Brazilian Navy for use onboard their carrier. Most of these , if not all, were obtained after they were being phased out by the Dutch at Hato, At least one servived into the seventies when it was last seen, without its outer wings, somewhere at a facility near Rio. First the Brazilian Avengers were midnight blue, but were later repainted in a high viz white and red. BW Roger

As for crashing into a hillside, the area he crashed in is not famed for its high ground.

Well, we (my town is 4 meters below sea level) consider every ground more then a meter above sea level high ground, let alone 2 meters, then they are part of the infamous Dutch mountains

Did you see that 1/72 Wellington op page 2, costing almost 800 P.St. Must be a typo!

I am happy with the Avengers and the S58. Hope they are going to make a Dutch TBM and S58 in the future, aswell as 1 or 2 colourfull TBM borate bombers. On the Halifaxes, I like the one with the covered nose and desert camo.

The pics are from prototypes, they often look odd, and the real models are better. So maybe a nose job has already been done in the production examples.

I shouldn’t be surprised if it is going to ‘live’ on the European continent for a year or two.
