Sorry guys – I didn’t for a moment think that anyone’d take it seriously ! 😮

I basically pulled up by the fence next to the road, removed Corgi Lancaster from box, plonked model on fence so……

….a little bit of (very) basic PhotoShoppery – and hey presto !

Still, at least I can say that the model was actually there…..;)

Looks almost like the Lanc’ seen about to touch down at Fiskerton last winter….

😉 😀

Very unlikely to have been modified in Service use. Many found their way into the hands of private users post-WWII and were gunsmith-modified ( a famous example being one shown on the cover of one of the early James Bond novels ).

The S&W .38 Pistol No. 2 had considerable ‘cachet’ and was a favourite among RAF aircrew as wel las Commando and Parachute units.

Dont forget the Binbrook fundraiser when the site will be open around XR724 on the 26-27 Jun 10. Please support this worthwhile event.

It’s a long old trip for me, but I’m determined to be up there for this…..

I’ve found this thread most interesting. I have a ‘box of bits’ from B-17G 42-38145 of the 452nd which collided with a 388th machine on 19th May 1944. The crash scene looks very peaceful today….

Probably been seen on here before, but it was nice to see the Vacher Hurricane proudly displaying its armament….

It was good on the Saturday to be able to get up very close to the aircraft ; a nice change from the usual ‘flightline walk’.

Very pleasant day at Duxford today, I must say.:)

Nice Spring weather – for a change – enough flying to keep the very small crowd amused , you could get much closer to the aircraft than the usual ‘flightline walk’ plus a full complement of trade stalls to peruse without being jostled : for once you could go back and that elusive item would still be there ! 😉
