thought I may have been correct. Wrecks and Relics book was my only source of info though. She isnt looking bad from the photos ive seen of her at Manston (thanks chaps) certainly a lot better than I rem her been in Brum. Saying that the two times I saw her was on October nights in the dark whilst taking part in aircraft rec competitions. Strangly despite her being free to walk around and admire not many cadets even paid the ole girl an admiring glance. Whats wrong with this world? Anyway thanks very much for the replies and I look forward to seeing some pics at some stage.

re the courtesy aircraft sale. If the aircraft is up for $35,000 yes it is. Has been reduced fro the original asking price of $50,000. Im led to beleive it hasnt flown for a while and has serious corrosion in one of the wings. How true the latter comment is im unsure.

Please all of you no more. Im beggning to dig my ref folders out already. My personal fave was his Spit G-Fire. Now how would a 1/48th Hunter, Sea Fury and Spitfire look together. Or am I going to far

Im actually modelling the aircraft just after Flack sold it to the Late Mike Carlton. Ive also bottled out trying to recreate the various fuselage stripes. A ruined model waiting to happen I feel.
