Rob,

I agree about the Christmas present from me to me. Sounds like a logical idea.

That RAF Tractor does look good, might have to add one to my RAF collection too.

Please take a few pictures at the London show for all of us that can't make it. You and the guys always do such a great job of that and it's much appreciated. As far as the new dispatches go, if there is going to be some new German armor in the mix, I would like to see a Brummbar or if new British armor I would like to see a Stuart "Honey" tank for the desert.

No problem Duke, will do!:smile2:

Im easy to please Rob as all i want is a 8th Army 25-pdr field gun with limber, Quad tractor vehicle to tow it, 8th Army version of the Humber Armoured Car and a DAK version of the Sdkfz 222!

Tom

Me too Tom, I wonder which 25 pounder will arrive first, Desert or Normandy?

Have a tiny feeling there are some excellent RAF sets in the pipeline too,but they will probably be next year{bravo}}

Rob

I'm betting we will see a desert Sherman, Andy mention we would be getting two versions by the end of the year & there isn't much time left now lol Well I'm hoping the other version will be a desert one anyway {sm4}

Craig

its likely to be an olive drab version

there will be some EA stuff though, possibly a valentine...

 

[Mitch]

German 88mm flak gun would be good to see especially if we are to get all these shermans and valentines!!!

Tom

Tom, either would be welcome, but as I have the original 8TH Army version I'm looking forward to a Normandy camo as my Tommies begin to fight their way out of the Bocage:wink2

Hi Rob, this was a joke someone posted on my facebook page, get it 3 unread messages?? but I think it really would be a neat little set after I thought about it, as pigeons were a part of the War in sending top secret messages and it would certainly be something different...Sammy

Excellent idea mate! That would indeed be an interesting release, and if the soldier gets hungry he can just eat pigeon:wink2: Just recently a guy over here was clearing a chimney that had not been cleared in seventy years, anyway he found the remains of a carrier pigeon from France with a secret message still on its leg in code( Pigeon was making for Bletchley Park) they now have experts trying to crack the code and read message...lets hope it wasn't ' Send more ammo ' !{eek3}

I read that story about the recently discovered dead pigeon, I'm interested to see what they find out about the message it was carrying?? but as far as the release some cool K&C pigeons with it's handler would be something different for sure...Sammy

As of last Saturday Sammy they could not crack the code, they had an expert on the radio who said that it could be one of thousands of possible answers, they didn't sound hopeful.

So we've gone from the Crimean to the North African Desert to the Little Bighorn , anyone expecting any Naps?

Rob

 

[OldDragon]

Yes ... the Greys are now heavily outnumbered and we could do with the new British cavalry {sm4}.
