I thought i,d dip my toes into the RAF figures and the first of them arrived today,
I have to say the MG sports car is fantastic [seems to be all metal construction aswell]
So here we have a small group of Kiwis , Perhaps waiting on the arrival of fellow country man Keith Park ,hint ,hint
[large dose of artistic licence being used here]
Discussing the chances of Jim McCaws future grandson leading the All Blacks to a World cup win .

Hi vandilay,

Thanks very much for posting these very nice shots.

I was disappointed that Keith Park was not included in the recent K&C releases of RAF figures.

After all, he was CO, 11th Group RAF.

.....and a Kiwi too.....

Best Wishes, Raymond.

Rob ,
I,m sure youll be chuffed , ever since the MG arrived i,ve been giving it the once twice and third overs [sh^%$ weather today and not much to do
except stop the kids fighting in the school holidays ]
and It realy reminds me of an updated take of the Deetail vehicles
which I loved as a kid.

Heres hoping the weather at your end of the island is better than mine

I did not know that Richie's great ancestor was a famous fighter pilot.
I always did like him and Dan Carter of course.

Damian ,
I dont think you would rate him as famous [world famous in NZ as they say ] ,
But apparently he flew a Hawker Tempest helping to knock out v1,s over london etc .
Heres an article relating to it .

You got to have respect for those guys that went up there to knock out V1's,flying alongside to wing tip them off course took some nerve.
