Superb diorama. Very evocative and locally significant - I have been known to frequent the flying club at Breighton. Once upon a time it was a Thor base, three launchers being sited on the old main runway. There were also two batteries of Bloodhounds to defend them. Like the Thor pads the Bloodhound...

The SIG had a good, if somewhat cramped day out at Hinckley on Sunday. Given we only had six feet and one chair (which on reflection sounds like a character in a Terry Pratchett novel) it is perhaps fortunate that both David Hart and 'Team T&E' - Tim and Emma - were away this year, presumably do...

unbridled nostalgia !

Excellent!

If that's your first one it's pretty darn impressive! Lovely model superbly presented - I really like the retracting undercarriage, very effective.

Flying poses are hard to pull off so full marks!

With Terry away and me constrained by arrival of new grandchild we might have lost this show had not Tim, Emma and Callum stepped up to the plate at quite short notice - not to mention considerable distance. Our gratitude to you all. As it transpired Shirl and I got a pass to visit the show but coul...

Ever the multi-role-combat Sig the away team / detached flight was at Holbeach in the Fenlands while the main strike force was in Keighley (I wonder how many models we collectively showed between us? bet it was a record!) bit cramped as the table next door had around a dozen club members who all tho...
