I’m very pleased to see a non-modern figure Norbert, but can you explain the concept please? It looks like a very useful figure, but what’s a Caribbean figure?

I came accross this history some years ago, didn't hear from it before. Best is to read some article like the following here : https://www.caribbeanaircrew-ww2.com/

Hope it helps, I know the choice of figure is non standard, but it's an opportunity to do something different

Thanks Norbert, pretty much standard RCAF/RAF really then and will fit into a whole host of different modelling dioramas! Excellent.

Norbert,

Thank you for that link which I read with with fascination and admiration for those who took part in WWII  and became part of the RAF and fought with courage.

Good little video about John  Jellico Blair and the Black RAF..

your choice of figure is a great way to pay tribute to those from other countries who fought during WWII  alongside RAF crew  members.

I enjoy history.

Thank you very much.
