Father's Day afterthought. I chose three old dogs for Father's Day. The old dogs were $45, which I thought was pretty good.

Not purchases as such, but generously sent by Evan (A4K).
Another S&M Models resin Andover kit, and the Airfix (ex-Italeri / Heller) C-130 Hercules, with extra decals, and with (corrected) resin engine nacelles to follow.
Just need to get the Mach Models Argosy now, to complete the trio of RAF aircraft I jumped from.
Many thanks to Evan for these.


 
The Argosy kit is around £55 over here Vic.
Did my Para course on the Argosy in November 1970, when 1 PTS was still at Abingdon. Hercs were in service, but I didn't get to jump one until the following year, although the Argosy was still used for some jumps over the next couple or so years.

EDIT: Just checked Hannant's web site, and the Argosy kit is £53.99.

You jumped out of perfectly good airplanes? Well I mean I understand the Argosy, but a Hurky, REALLY! I don't know about you people. If you'll just set still and keep your tray in the upright position. The pretty little airplane will bring you nicely back to the ground! Trust me I fixed them. I won't fly on them
