Hampden bomber which was bought down in Finland in 1942 by Me 109 fighters.
// The Co-pilot was ordered to try and reach the safety of Switzerland

That would have been one hell of a walk 🙂
Incidentally there wasn’t too much room for a co-pilot … or anything else, in a Hampden

got my copy of the Accident report

fairly condemning of the Pilot, cleared for a consumption test at 10,000 ft, he flew low over his girlfriends house and hit a tree

Sadly all too common.

I had no idea it had gone there. Any idea what their intentions are with it ?

Rebuild I believe, to static.

Great News 🙂

A Sunderland might make quite an impression but still not at Vulcan levels.

This one’s turning into a wish list, rather than ‘The Next Big Thing’.

So in the hope of turning it around, I just thought of one: Beluga.

A300-based versions are due retirement soon, reasonably cheap to maintain and have a massive weekday value. Paint a huge Minion face on it and Bob’s your uncle: pester power and a few million adult devotees later you have a showstopper.

From my experiences of these, every time one turns up the traffic stops and people get out and look. Could we say that of any of the other suggestions on here?

I see them just about every day at home, so no thanks 🙂

Accept it for what it is and enjoy it – I do.

Agreed. It’s light entertainment with some good toys thrown in.
