There was talk of Branson leasing them.

I’d suggest that we should retain one for the Royal Flight, just as long as it wasn’t used by Tony’s cronies.

For the Queen to arrive by Concorde would be much more fitting than this current parsimonious use of scheduled flights.

Youi can have my tax money for it straight away.

Land of hope and glory, mother of the free … etc (Rousing music fades into the distance)

As i understood it – a story apparently goes that Branson was quite keen on the idea but has been told NO!. They wouldn’t want him making a profit on them, when they claim they can’t, by flying to locations other than New York etc..

Queen to have one is a fine idea Moggy – which would you choose? 🙂 G-BOAC??

As with Museums – Cosford could have one surely? What about East Fortune, Manchester and the new expansions at Liverpool (didn’t they get a few prototypes from BAE recently?) Personnaly i wouldn’t mind 2 at Duxford either. They would be different no? Pre-Production G-AXDN and then say G-BOAA for a service model.

I like this site:

Alas

Thanks for the invite, but i’m not sure it’s possible – i’ll look into it though, significant other would like to come to if it’s possible, but it’s a question of time off work around the weekend as well as funds. She’s a big fan of Blenheims and Vulcans.

If we can’t make it and don’t get any pics – would be delighted to host any that people would like on the web but don’t have their own site or somewhere else they go. (Goes for any museum too)

Before i forget. If anyone has a club/society/website they would like listed – drop me a line and it will go in the links section of the new version of Museum-Explorer which is about a month away.

Cheers

2nd one

Whats the plan?

Hi

What does the walk-thro plan entail?

You can walk in the Shack at Newark with no obvious drawbacks, as far as i can tell…. not that i know alot.

How does the walkthrough effect the Shack??

Cheers in advance.

Too Slow.

I obviously take far to long with my posts…..

Model Air Sea Rescue

Academy Models have a Kit of a B-17 Air Sea Rescue. Although there is a description about ASR in the text about the kit – i can’t tell you if the actual model is during or post-war. It does seem to suggest though that it’s a SB-17G.

It’s Kit number 2165 in 1/72.Academy Models

Snippets from the text suggest that:

The original boat carried (British Mark II) could carry 7, so with large US bomber crews in ’44 they designed a larger boat, which was dropped from upto 1500ft. These started operating in ’45.
