It’s 8 rounds in a Luger 9mm magazine, so he must be one hell of a reloader (and a quick shot) to fire off two magazines, put another one in and fire one round from that before he downs the Heinkel

Yeah, in some respects it is more interesting than Hendon as it has such rare and, in many cases, unique aircraft such as the Meteor prototype (only one left) and the Lightning predeccesors, the line up of two of them with the Lightning at the end looks superb! Then again i prefer Hendon for the sheer variety of aircraft (mmmmm beaufighter)

Yeah, although my favourite exhibit will be the Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer, looks great in camouflage and been in storage for a number of years

I also though I had heard that Jim Johnston had died but I might be mistaken

Could be confused with Johnny Johnson, at first i got confused.

You might wanna try the Tamiya 1/48 Beaufighter if you want a nice kit – it’s very easy to build and looks great afterwards, i want to do mine in a lovely Desert camo scheme but i’m too scared i’ll screw it up!

Cheers mate, would have e-mailed you but didn’t want to keep pestering you :-p So is the Vampire and Meteor to be displayed indoors, or restored indoors and then put outside? How big is this building going to be? Sounds like it’s going to be rather large, i pictured in my mind just a small shed with a little display, shop and vampire pod in it!

Thanks, oh, and forgive my stupidness, but what is a stations flight aircraft? Is that just used for transporting personnel or training them and things like that?

I agree with it, as long as its relatively discreet or suits the aircraft well, for example a virgin logo in place of the nose art on a B-17 would suit pretty well if it was changed a bit
