Last year in July me and the wife were invited to a 49 Reunion which was held at Petwood Hotel
and was given an empty wine bottle, of only twenty produced for the re-union and I pondered
that night as to what to do with this empty bottle and then it jumped at me and thought...
''I know why not make a 49sqd 'Lanc' model and mount it on the bottle''!
The wine was made and bottled by a small company in Germany and the labels are in gold leaf on the bottle is a 49sqd Lancaster EA*D. ED702.
Crew..
P/O C T Anderson, Sgt R C Paterson, F/Sgt J P Nugent, F/Sgt G J Green, F/Sgt W D Bickle, F/Sgt E Ewan , Sgt A W Buck.
Lost 23rd Spetember 1943 Op Mannheim and was shot down by Lt Heinz Grimm, member of the staff of the IV./ NJG (Nachtjagdgeschwader) G9+CE I.
Before anyone spots the error of the rear guns being wrong! I've now corrected them
The kit is the Airfix 1/72nd kit with the side windows patiently cut out and filled with Crystal Clear,
note it has a full crew and even a bomb aimer...lol
Enjoy....
Thanks for looking.
