Three things I’ll flag here:

1. Simon hardwood was a TSG officer. They get sent into some of the worst situations imaginable.

2. Where was his family when tomlinson was living rough?

3. Why does no one mention the protestors who attacked Police trying to save Tomlinson when he collapsed?

1 Just the sort of situation that Harwood would relish with his alleged background

2 Tomlinson was an alcoholic and having lived with one(thankfully no more) for 22 years nothing you can do will stop them doing what they want.

3 I don’t know maybe they just saw what happened to him and were angry or it does not fit with the current campaign to finish Harwood.

Panel gaps, If they ar that big I use slivers of plastic card and sand to shape. As I write this I got my 1/72 mk22 today and am making it as well as being on the forum.:) Seems a nice kit a lot of decals though! As for colour after my Halfrauds grey primer its going to be rattle can Airfix silver followed by kleer for decals then another coat of kleer. On my test piece it seems to knock the shine back a bit to more like ally.

One day somewhere down the list though I will get a spray gun and compressor but I can’t justify the expence at the moment.

Did any of the above mentioned floatplanes bare a close resemblance to any German floatplane? I was wondering if it did perhaps they would try and bluff it out HMS Cambetown style at St Nazaire.

Mr Creosote, Alas I fear you are correct!

#13 The Policeman on the beat(if there is still such a thing) does what he or she is told by their chain of command they are the ones who I would like to see held accountable when things go wrong, not the footsoldier. Its all very well putting a senior officer up on television with a stern expression saying things have gone wrong but lessons have been learned. No lessons are learned until those who “F” up are booted out without a pension not allowed to resign quietly.
Yes I am aware of the site you mentioned.

I hate snakes but find the memorial very poignant.
