    If only ….. they had built a large military airfield near Brighton so I wouldnt have to drive miles and miles to see some action.

    me and a mate were up in the tower at RAF Holbeach watching the various tornados and Jags do their stuff ,when there was some radio chatter and the guys there told me and my mate to go out onto the balcony , just as a Jag turned and came straight at us on full re heat ,It shot over our heads so bloody low we were literally bowled over !!!, we got up and turned to see it shooting away and to see the guys in the tower laughing their heads off. Still we loved it !, I did take some pics but all I got was dot coming towards us then various shots of the sky and the balcony railings as we fell over .

    I went to Cosford on thursday and was speaking to one of the members of staff there and as said earlier it seems what Hendon wants they get ,the guy told me they are now after two more of Cosfords aircraft and it seems theres little they can do to stop it.
    But they did say they have the go ahead for the new building.
    As for cockpits a friend of mine did get the chance to sit in the TSR 2 cockpit which apparently is an extrememly rare chance to get ,and the cocokpit can still be powered up electrically ,but normally it is kept sealed to preserve it.

    I build 1/72 kits and have about 300 made and the ceiling and walls are starting to bow ! Ive just completed the trumpeter tu-95 bear and monster size kit it is .below is a link to some pics but Im sure its been asked before but as Im new here how do you paste them to this forum ,maybe some one can tell me in idiots form . http://groups.msn.com/tailslidesgalleries/shoebox.msnw

    Im still waiting for someone to produce a injection moul;ded plastic ,Nimrod and TSR 2 but Im glad to see TU 160 Blackjack and RAF Globemaster are on the way ,they should be big kits.
    Ive started to play around with basic kits now to make them different ,Ive recently done 3 different versions of the canberra with different colour schemes and noses that arnt made in basic kits,would also love to correspond with others into 1/72 .
