I like to see vehicles being completed. I have the boxed three vehicle set from ICM (all 35th scale) which I cant face just at the mo. Having built the IBG Bedford in 35th scale and knowing all those small fiddly bits are waiting in the ICM kits . . . plus not that ken on PE parts . . I look forward to seeing how you tackle this Phil and also of the big reveal . .

I love to see diorama's being put together . . . Is this from your imagination or perhaps from a photo ? I admit towards the latest pages I was beginning to think it was looking crowded but no doubt these places did get busy . . I was thinking in one of your earlier post the tower (we call it a Signal box in the Uk) was on the end of the board which offered a better 'view' over the entire scene rather than the view being broken with the tower in the central position. I really admire the scale of your operation and shall continue to view to watch how it comes along . . . Ian

I certainly miss your updates on the Wimpy but I guess you have to learn how to fly by going from single to twin engines flying . . . . Keep at it, I think you've got something there . . . . -
Like to think of the eight they found they could make good at least four of them !!

A bit of an update on the 35th Austin K2 a bit of chipping on the cab floor Some painting on the front wings and single fuel tank A hip ring for the cab added and sub assembly on the cab . . . -
Its never a good thing when you have to go your separate ways but life goes on . . . After being together with my ex for nearly 30 yrs, its take time to adjust but adjust you will . . . Good luck with the move, I hope you soon settle down and start the modelling process once again . . . Ian

G. I formed the RAF Waltham Association and met with Roy Bailey who told me he and Bruce were the sole survivors from being shot down. Bruce wrote to me with his memories and added to the story of the events of that night. I only have the photo of the ground crew in front of the aircraft and this will hopefully be in my book which is currently at a publishers . . . Ian -
