    Actually, I think it’s quite a good name.

    Excellent photos Kenneth. What’s the story on the He 111 under restoration ? Is it an He-111 or a Casa ?

    I don’t suppose you know what the missile/launch vehicle is in the background of the jet row photo is ?

    According to the website you can charter 206 & 102. 102 can take 12 passengers. That would be an interesting forum day out !

    Actually, we were both wrong about D-day. They are part of the Britsh Military Powerboat Trust which has just been set up in the area. I just found this on Google,

    http://www.bmpt.org.uk/trust.htm

    Has the histories of both boats on there. A very interesting & comprehensive site.

    102 looks the same as the one in the Vid. It wasn’t there a month ago, so I assume it was down for the D-Day commemorations. I didn’t take any more photos, I had the German girlfriend & our son with me at the time, so had to be a bit diplomatic. She thinks my video collection (Das Boot, BofB, 633 squadron, Dambusters, etc.) are “in bad taste”.

    That’s because I don’t know the real reason, I just assumed there was a good one.

    Anyway, what are we going to do about the tower ??

    Oh Sh*t, I forgot. HORROR. One of the staff was saying that the control tower may get demolished soon. Any ideas on how to prevent this. If I was rich I’d buy it & live in it. Unfortunately I’m not, so I can’t.

    Briefly. It was the lure of nice fluffy cumulus against a blue sky as a backdrop to the a/c outside that spurred me into action.

    There is the feeling that it is more satisfying to make your own, though the Corgis & other types probably last longer.

    Splendid metal K5054 replica. Looks so much better that a plastic one.
