When I was about 6, my Dad took me and a friend to our summerhouse, and to make us sit down at least some time, he had bought us a kit each:
Frog 1:72 Spitfire QW-K and Gallands Bf-109. He helped assemble and paint them, but we still got the feeling we did it ourselves. We played with them the whole weekend.
As other has stated – the first of many. Last one a 1:32 Revell Spitfire.
Now, I am looking for a Revell or something 1:32 Mosquito at a good price – hopefully around £25 – at ebay. Either I will paint it as one of the “Operation Carthage” machines, or as Piotr Skuts (Schyyh in danish) plane from Tintin.

I know of some remnants:
Pretty far away, though – in the bush, 20 kilometres south of Narsarsuaq, also known as Bluei West 1.
I required the crash report – interesting reading. I can post it if anyone wants.
The plane was on its way home the US from Libya – and the pilot, not having many hours on the type, ran into trouble after refuelling in BW-1, suffering a highspeed stall, maybe due to turbulence from the B24 that followed the A-20´s home.
I have been wondering – can anyone tell why USAF bothered about flying them home, when they were phased out?
