You're lucky mate, I know what you mean about Mansfield, but the 'creatures' there are nowhere near as bad as here in Macclesfield!!

Macc Lads!? I'm only guessing, as I'm a Geordie by birth - only been in Macc about 17 years.

Been fortunate enough to go to Scandinavia many, many times with my work... and I won't disagree with you there.

And on a darker note... re the cushions stuffed with human hair... possibly not that surprising, given what was eventually found out about certain happenings in the Reich... I prefer to think that the aircrew were honest guys working in what they believed was the service of their country, and had no idea about this...

Oh dear, oh dear! You lucky person Mr. G! Not only do you have a real JU88 and He111 to play with, you have real women there too! I'm definitely living in the wrong place! About time I went back to Norway, Denmark or the Czech Republic I think - it's been too long!!

Forgot these guys

BTW, I dated a Norwegian/Polish girl. Her dad fled Poland just before WWII and her mom live in Norway during the occupation. They met after the war and moved to Canada, then Michigan.

She was a real sweetheart and a looker to boot.

Broke my heart, though......

Not bad for the price, it was on sale at Squadron, around 10 or 12 bucks.

It does seem to have and inordinate amount of flashing that will take some time to deal with...........

Some nice stuff there Tom. The Airfix Hurricane was a good kit, quite 'advanced' when first released, thirty years ago. Coincidentally, I've just ordered one, as a 'budget' edition to my 56 Squadron build line-up, and I seem to remember it goes together well, and looks the part. Only slight drawback is the one-piece canopy.

Also one-piece unfortunately, but got a Falcon vac-form canopy for that Hurri going spare if anyone needs it...

Great stash too, Tom!
