'Pewter' Vulcan

Hi,

Whilst holidaying recently in The Lake District, I spotted this in a shop window and could only resist the temptation for 24 hours before I went back and bought it. A very nice piece of art with a 17.5" wingspan.

A very nice purchase.

Did the shop owner know of any history behind your sculpture? Just curious.

Hi Brian,

No history behind the model itself as it's a 'new build'

Â£250 John!!! :shock:

You must have a very understanding wife!!

Very nice though I must say

I had a similar incident with an original Valiant Flight Manual (which still had the checklists in the rear cover). I saw it at Duxford on one of the stalls and it bothered me greatly that I couldn't afford it. It bothered me so much I phoned the company up on the following Tuesday and bought it

Â£80.. sold to the cabbage with the Visa card!!

Bless.. they didn't charge me postage either

Lovely!

That Mossie is gorgeous too! I'd be tempted if I had that kind of cash around.

Â£140 almost seems like a bargain

There's a lot of metal for your money mind you and it is an impressive model

I have a silver Concorde (no.1670 of a limited 2,450 run) which has a Â£5 commemorative coin set into the wooden base and comes with a note of authenticity signed by someone or other that the good lady bought as a christmas present for me but in all honesty, I get a lot more pleasure from my BEA Red Square 'MA' Comet :roll: It's one of the Corgi Classic Collection which I'm sure many of you are familiar with

Pity they never got round to doing the 1-11, Trident and VC10 :think:
