£100-£150 (is that un-realistic) for a bit of both.
Only made it to the local fly ins last year (Brieghton and Sherburn) so this year I dont want to spoil shows by being stuck behind a camera to much.

if you can stretch to £200ish you should be able to pick up something like a Minolta Z10/Z1 or Olympus C765UZ etc online… have a look at the ‘small camera picture’ thread or whatever it was called for idea of what people are using.. worth spending that extra if you can as you get the flexibility to take flying shots and use the optical zoom to be more creative (!).. dont forget though to allow some money for media cards etc..

Like the look of that longer canopy… 😀 what about a Reno-Racer ‘scheme! 😮

The main problem is one of access. The Best complete former bomber base is RAF West Raynham in Norfolk (still owned by the MoD). Also try, Driffield (no runways or control tower), Swinderby is fairly complete, Newton (Nr Nottingham), Syerston is quite complete but still in operation. Hemswell is good for showing you how NOT to preserve a 1930s RAF camp, Mandy near Louth is good for showing you how to preserve a 1930s RAF camp. If you have your own transport, then you can spend a good two months visiting most airfield in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire pertaining to bomber command. Check Out http://www.driffieldaerodrome.co.uk for further details on RAF Driffield.

yep Manby is worth a look with a lot of the buildings converted to office space but still retaining their exterior… and theres a pub just over the road with Jet Provosts on its sign. 😀

Can’t remember who it was, but someone from the Corgi Heritage Center sent me a scan of a black and white photo of the plane and I did the first one, but it seemed the color was darker so I did the second one with the darker gray.

Looking at the photo, my lettering is more, for lack of a better word, precise since I used a font to do the lettering and the other photo looks more hand painted.

Kinda cool to see it on the model though 🙂

Just looked around their site. Too funny. There’s my profile on the top of the page. Think that’s my blue Hurri too 🙂

yeah, and you’d have thourght they’d have sent you a complementary model eh, seeing as you appear have been involved, even if unwittingly!!
no one seems to have a colour reference for it, so we may never know what colour it was at this stage of its life… CHC claim it was gray primer?
Neil.

thourght I’d bump this up as Corgi are releasing their interpretation of the ‘gray’ scheme as their ‘special limited edition club members model’.. just wondered if anyone ever came up with colour pictures of the aeroplane..?
