    just a “small” selection of some of my Dinky stuff thats crammed away in boxes in every nook n cranny of the house.

    the 707 was a window display model for Air India but was all bashed up and for some reason half sprayed black. its an on going project and one of many :confused:

    a Quick shufty through the interweb gave a few pictures but unless you want a painting then theres not much scope it seems for colour pictures during that period. unless a modern picture is digitally enhanced.

    Aries is one of my drawings which i just thought i would shove in due to the Shawbury connection. the rest are random 60sqn stuff found

    Thats how you can tell the difference between Stalactites and Stalagmites.
    Tights come down and Mites go up

    the F104 seems to have a skid rather than a wheel at the front?. even so its still a trike in effect and you know what Robin Reliants were like for tipping over :confused: .

    the American thinking harks back to the Chuck Yeager era and the Bell X1. they knew a bullet broke the sound barrier so made a plane to fit a man in to the same shape. Why dont we just whip the wings of an old Lightning or Tornado and twang that down the track
