Loads of new castings announced, including Vampire, Wessex, 1/72 Hailfax.. Also, some rather nice schemes for the exising ones: BOAC Viscount, BCAL 707, and a rather tasty rasberry ripple Jag T2 ...

Another leftie 'ere, everything done with the left apart from the computer mouse and joystick.

Oh...one thing though. Our left hand is almost always smeared in ink or carbon due to the fact that we write with our left hand, and therefore smear our hand over the just-written letters....that was ...
