I hear you & understand Neil. I know you adore those V-weapon releases and like you said...you can only have so much. Happy to hear to love the Mossies though since you have a deep appreciation for the warbirds! All My Best, Marc

Here are some pictures of "Pick" Pickard in addition to an aviation print depicting Operation Jericho. It is a nice depiction except that the Mossie has an antenna which was not present on these kites at the time which seems to be a common theme with everyone copying each other's research...

Excellent choice Sir! Enjoy. Here are some images to get you fired up... The kite below is NE-D, a close sister to NE-A...

Neil, I have every Corgi 1:32 Mosquito including the Jericho version. If I recall correctly, there were 999 produced and I pre-ordered it March, 2011. It finally landed September, 2012 and was sold out on pre-order. I rate it as a solid "C" as it is without doubt toy-like void of any real...

Cheers Forum Squadron Members, For those of you who love to research your purchases (K&C AF031) and see some actual wartime images, please enjoy the following images as well as a link for the 375th Fighter Squadron (361st Fighter Group) photo archive at "Tail End Charlie" of this post. Thanks...

Bravo! Words like aesthetic and peaceful/tranquil come to mind at a first glance. What a great display that is just fun/relaxing to gaze at. Thanks for sharing. ~Marc

Happy Birthday John! I hope & trust you are doing well and that you had a great day. I think it is about time though that you at least claim birthday week. You have earned it! Best Regards, Marc

JAGCDR's wife Judy did a tremendous job. The whole process was nothing short of friendly & professional coupled with a Veteran TS Collector packing job. Simply outstanding. My best to Chris too please! Thank You, Marc

Hi Jason, Here is a list of my favorites all of which I have except for the prototype Mosquitoes and some of the Stuka multiple releases. 1). Both of the Mosquito versions 2). B-17 Memphis Belle 3). P-38/Owl/Winter Me-110/Stukas (too close to call with these four+ so a tie) 4). Both P-40...

Rob, Here is another link with some different images too. What a find & recovery! ~Marc http://www.flyingmag.com/news/rare-dornier-do-17-recovered-english-channel?cmpid=enews061313&spPodID=030&spMailingID=17605269&spUserID=NDc4NjIwMzIxMwS2&spJobID=217016381&spReportId=MjE3MDE2MzgxS0

Rob, How is that Duxford Beaufighter restoration coming along? Thanks, Marc

Cheers, I use the ebay Global Shipping Program since they assume all liability once the item reaches their Erlanger, Kentucky (CVG Airport) shipping facility. I still insure the item for the first leg of the route to cover my six. I do not have to worry about buyers claiming the item is...

Arnold-I am simply blown away. I love your accuracy & precision. So, what is next on the build-a-bucket-list? ~Marc

Any update and or resolution at all? Fingers Crossed, ~Beau

Mitch, Check out Carlos' (desk11desk12) Texas TS Show pictures like the one below. It might give you and or anyone else another perspective. I assume the base for the skiing soldier is somewhat substantial. Hope this helps a bit. ~Beau

Sammy, Keep a look out for Carlos' (aka desk11desk12 on TF) posts. He has a pimped up camera and typically photographs every square inch of a show so give him 24-48 hours as he is in TS euphoria right now! ~Marc

Allen’s Flying Heritage Collection located at Paine Field in Everett, Washington is worth a dedicated visit especially during the summer when you can see a lot of his kites flying around. Check out the website which lists the summer flying schedule. In addition, the docents working there are...

Great advice Neil. I trust they (TGM) will take care of you! Hopefully Vicki who posts for TGM will see your post too. All the same, I feel your pain being in limbo with a very nice looking sold-out set that did not make the grade. Positive Vibes, ~Beau

Great setup Todd! I thought I would post the following to add to the tribute. Thanks, Marc

Too cynical might be pushing it! However, I still firmly believe in trying. There is also a message box for added details and I would have to imagine that contact logistics from the CEO himself might just provide enough thrust to ground or at least stall this operation assuming it is...
