    I frequently pass by that end of EMA on my way to Loughborough from Long Eaton, and have often wondered about this aircraft.

    A sad end for her. Any further photos, Tony?

    I’m scheduled to pass there later today – I expect she has gone now though? 🙁

    Absolutely stunning work, Alex. :eek::eek:
    I shall be using this thread as a reference for when I build my next Whitley; the ageing 1:72 Frog offering.

    A question – Are you a Watchmaker by trade?

    The detailing of those FUNCTIONING (!!) seats, etc. are truly amazing. Many of the other smaller details look functional as well; all add to the effect that you could climb aboard and fly her.

    Although judging by the state of the Elsan, she has just returned fron a pretty “hairy” trip! :D:diablo:

    Am I the only one to have read that poem of a mothers grief at losing her young son without a tear in their eye.

    No.

    IIRC, an in situ photograph of the tail section appeared on the cover of David J Smith’s High Ground Wrecks & Relics .

    Now, where did I put my copy?!

    I agree with Moggy & kev35.

    As has already been stated, too many people take the freedom that they have today for granted – We must never be allowed to forget that freedom is not free.

    I certainly did spare a few thoughts for Flt Sgt Williams.

    At 1pm (approximately the time of the combat over Gravesend), I stopped my vehicle, and shut down the engine for two minutes.

    Thanks Moggy.

    There are several I quite like:

    Jupiter II (Lost in Space).
    Fireball XL5.
    The Akira Class starship from Star Trek.

    However, my favourite of all has to be Spindrift from Land of the Giants.

    About 5 years ago, I built a model of this ship from foam and GRP.
    A custom build for a friend, she is 4 ft. long, and has interior lighting.
    I’ll see if I can find the pics…
