Re: Airfield, North East England, but whats it called?

Hi folks Haven't been here for a while but just had to write when I saw this. I spent many hours at RAF Ouston in the late 60's, at that time it was under care and maintenance but housed the Northumberland UAS, No.8 AEF and 624 VGS. My contact with Ouston was with the latter two units as I was a mem...

Not all that much interest shown by the media, did'nt even make the BBC news as far as I know. Was mentioned by Sarah Kennedy some 4/5 days after the news here. Seems a lot of people nowadays are not interested in what made this country great. Unless you are a politician who dips his wick where they...

Re the Vanguard, I thought the original release way back in the 60's was in the BEA red square livery as was the comet at one time. The originals of the VC10 and Boeing 707 came in BOAC...

Series 1 & 2 Airfix kit came in plastic bags with the header containing the instructions all from series 3 and above came in boxes.
That box looks very early due to the logo and the fact that it states in large print the scale and wingspan.
