Just Google 2nd TAF plenty of stuff should come up or tell me the sort of thing your looking for,I risked losing the house to buy Chris Shores series of books,still have them hidden from Ashley! so I can provide loads of reference.Wing Commander James Edgar Johnson is his full name wing man to Douglas Bader led the 144 Canadian Wing and was the RAF's(official) highest scorer finished his Carree as Air Vice Marshal passed away in 2005 aged 85, stick any of that in a search engine and you should get something useful

Pete, you sneaky so and so, fancy posting a new model while i'm at work:p. She's looking up to your usual high standards:D

and doing the diorama will just about make it perfect. Looking forward to more.
Best wishes

Hiya mate. I did some of that and like you say a plethora of information

Thanks. I will let Ash know they're under the floorboards :D you really go for it when you want something mate that's for sure. I did some work to the Spitfire, but have to wait for batteries to recharge then will post the results.

Hi Mick... umm and there's the F1 thread i'm working on at the same time :D Glad you like this so far, but a long way to go yet - all fired up with all the excellent ideas the guys have put here for me thus far...

If i can fit it all in it should look pretty cool

I hope not to let anyone down. More pics later when the batteries have recharged.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do here. 1/72 is my preferred scale, but my bases are barely big enough to contain the airplane itself. I did include a 55 gal fuel drum with a hand pump in one of my displays, but that hardly qualifies as a diorama. I'll be watching with interest.

Looking good, some great ideas too, anxious to see how it 's getting along.

I am also looking forward to making this - a diorama is a whole new ball game for me - I just hope i can please you guys. 1:72 scale is just right for this project, so should get quite a lot of details into a small'ish area

Hi guys. Well, i thought i had a few pictures to show the build in the usual fashion, but the memory card seems to have corrupted most of them so i will post what i have got - the Spitfire is now COMPLETE and i can move on to the next stage - The Tower, which i should be able to start building this weekend, there's not many parts to that, so probably a few hours work - a few piccys if the card will allow and post here. Hope you like the Spitfire guys.
