While driving to Telford last Friday we passed Faldingworth, which is where 300 Squadron Lancaster DV286 BH-C took off in 1944 never to return. During 2003 together with the RNethAF recovery team we recovered it's last remains from the Ijsselmeer and the five missing finally received a decent burial. The only surviving crewmember Mr Bogoslav Morski was present too.

So I know which livery my Lancaster will have.

Later on we passed RAF Scampton too. What a historic place.

So many possibilities for this kit.

Cheers

I don't care what it costs. Afterwards I will go back to my larch tree on the edge of Sherwood Forest, and contemplate existence whilst dining on ashes and lark's vomit in humble poverty. Any donations to my Lancaster Fund will be gratefully received.

Any room on your fallen log for another one?

I'm partial to Barnes Wallis' invention toting Lanky's....

So, I'll have to do one of three things...

 

1. Wait for HK to release said specials.

2. Wait for a Conversion to become available and then buy both the kit and the conversion.

3. Pass on the entire concept

Well ... Graham from Iconicair has the Upkeep mine on a bomb trolley ...

IIRC he's awaiting the release of the kit for the conversion(s) to be put together.

 

Rog :)
