Does anyone know the model maker?
I would be interested to know what motors were used for the engines (most likely pager vibration motors) or how they were operated. Must be some kind of pot controlling the speed?

Thanks.

Does it float in water?

I just watched the film on IPlayer and I totally enjoyed it.
They gave a new generation an interest not only in our own aviation history but gave them an interest in model building, and team work. Not to mention meeting some Spitfire pilots.
I’m 42 and I still build Airfix models. They are cheap, fun and still outshine some of the more modern competition. I’m building a 1:72 Stirling which no one else has attempted and you get bomb trolleys and a tractor!.
I think we as adults are to blame for the demise of model building. I bought my sisters kid a model Vulcan several years ago. They sighed at the fact it would never get built. Now he’s building ships, tanks allsorts. All the computers, phones etc are great but if you don’t involve kids in board games, model kits and all the other interactive pastimes you robbing them of a lot of fun.
Great prgramme.

Not rearly a frog man myself although I’ve got a Whitley still to buil.
Prefer the old Airfix Artwork.

Pieces: 617

With that number of pieces it would be fitting to model Guy Gibsons Mossie.

I thought sky marshalls and people carrying guns on airliners used special frangible rounds to stop them damaging the aircraft?

When out of beer go shopping.
