HK Lancaster.

It is one of those projects where you have to come clean.

 

My wife would probably rightly say "are you sure the box can get into the study?" prefixed by "bl**dy Nora!"

 

She will then buy the most expensive Kitchenaid accessories on the market and happily add said items to her cookery gadget stash. Those items spend a lot of time in cardboard boxes too.

If it helps anyone feel less guilty about their HKM Lancaster, master modelmaker Peter Cook built a batch of 1/24 scale Lancasters  pictures of which  can be seen in the book "The Master Scratchbuilders".

 

Anyway, one of the syndicate paying for the builds had business and marital problems, so as a one time clearance deal Peter was advertising (if an article in Aeroplane magazine can be called that) the now unclaimed for remainder at the knock-down price of £7,000 GBP. At 1995 values.

 

Perhaps by 2040, that'll seem a reasonable price too.

My wife's shoe and handbag stash are definitely on a par with my model version!

 

Which means there's always a comeback when a new box appears.. :whistle:
