Go on Richard-give it your best shot! I’d love to see Virgin pull this one off.

I can remember the best aeroplane toy that I had was a large tinplate Lockheed Electra in the “lightning bolt” American Airlines colours. It was battery operated and all 4 props worked as did the “nav lights” and illumination in the flight deck, I think it was made in Japan. I have never seen another one but what I wouldn’t give to play with it just one more time!

Like all these things I guess its down to personal taste. Boring if we all liked the same liveries.

Nice one Saab, totally agree. Personally if Virgin is seriously prepared to give Concorde operations a go then I’m all for it, and if BA won’t part with theirs to him I am fairly sure that the French would.

Nice pics guys! Our hobby will be all the duller without her.

No Ren not me! But I wonder what happened to the models from the Iraqi Airlines HQ in Baghdad….I think I can guess.

Gaurav……Yep! I’ll go with that.

Thanks Andy…..Latest additions are a 1/50 737-200 in BA “Landor” colours, a 1/72 DC8-43 in 60s Alitalia colours, unusual in that it has full undercarriage instead of sitting on a display stand, a 1/72 DC8-63 in VIASA livery, and last but not least a 1/50 B-CAL A310, I love that scheme on the A310.
