Well done. I still have a few of the very early sets to get before I patiencecan say the same, but nice to see it can be done with a great level of paticence and fortitude.

Thank you Rob, good spot. Great to see those guys resplendent in their blues together with the Spitfire and Miles Magister. I was very fortunate to meet a gentlemen named Spencer Flack who owned a Spitfire G-FIRE (Mk FRXIVE) back in the early 80's. The aeroplane, painted bright red was based...

Although I'm very excited about the Sudan range because I love Victoriana too, I'm apprehensive because I don't know how I'm going to pack all the figures I want in to my collecting budget! Nevertheless, it's a nice problem to have as it highlights the qualityof John's work and the following...

As Johnnie Johnson reportedly said of Keith Park “He was the only man who could have lost the war in a day or even an afternoon”.

I echo our friend Cantinetozzo's words. Super figure to go with all the other super figures produced by JJD and not enough left on my Visa card to buy it all....alas!

"You pays yer' money and you takes yer' choice" To me it is simple as that, I don't believe for one moment this a cunning plan hatched by JJ to fleece us of our hard earned cash. No, if anything he is supplying our demand for the unique amongst those brethren that collect his many ranges. I'm...

Thanks for the reply Randy, look forward to it.

My condolences on your sad loss.

Hi Randy, thank you for the heads-up. Looking forward to reading about the first sets of the new range. Did you gleam anything about what John has in store for us regarding his other ranges?

I'm really excited by this range, and the period getting the full K&C treatment. As I've said in a previous thread I think there is scope for expansion in to other European powers of the same period. This together with John Jenkins foray in to the Sudan promises to be a great if not expensive...

Fantastic dio, I'm spending too much time gazing at the detail instead of working and starting to get disapproving looks. Well done! More please!

Skinners Horse, Crimean War Guards its all too much to bare at this time of the year - superb releases! I'm really excited about the new late 19th Century British Empire range, I think this is one area that has been neglected in matte amd has potential in years to come to expand to other...

Very nice shot. I do hope that Corgi expand the WW1 aviation range to include earlier types such as the FB5 Gunbus, Fokker Eiendekker and BE2 etc. they are nice models and at a fairly decent price Please keep 'em coming - next shot the Red Baron?

Haven't seen that in donkeys! Must hunt down the dvd. To be honest I had to use the link to reaquaint myself with the plot. Another film of a similar genre is 'The Lion has Wings' and was unashamedly a propaganda weapon starring Ralph Ricardson and Marle Oberon...

You're right doesn't appear to feature for the U.S. market, which is a pity because it's a good movie to watch on a cold night. Can you get PAL DVD players in the USA? In the UK we can get dual PAL and NTSC players.

Try Amazon U.S? I know some US based friends have downloaded from Torrent (.....if thats your cup of tea sort of thing).

Good shout Brad - real aerial stunts and flying sequences, no computer generated sequences! Great ending as both aeroplanes fly off in to the distant yonder.

Just picked up the newly released DVD whilst out food shopping with Mrs Evzone (well some one has to push the trolley!) Although historically inaccurate, it’s a good entertaining film with lots of computer-generated dogfights, balloon bustings and collisions. The Jasta 11 attack on a formation...

Thank you Brett. Stephen E. Ambrose of Band of Brothers fame wrote a book on the assult on Pegasus Bridge and there is a good account of Todd's action that night. Incidentally, I'm led to believe that the first allied soldier killed on D-Day was Lieutenant Danny Brotheridge who was shot in...

Just read Fighter Heroes of World War 1 by Joshua Levine. The tag line describes the book as '...The extraordinary story of the pioneering airmen of the Great War...' and it does just that as it says on the 'tin'. Gripping stuff with lots of Boys Own escapades amongst the class bigotry, horror...
