That's a new one on me, Eric, my Mosquito was white EoGT on the starboard side. Would that make it GToE on the port? *-)
Regardless, that'd make a good read, I bet you'll remember every one you built.
Cheers, Mike.

Beware Eric, it's a slippery slope, the thin edge of the wedge, etc. etc. :)

I bought a copy a couple of years ago and then I just had to buy a kit. An Airfix Bristol Bleheim it was and that led steadily onto the hard stuff. Tridents and 1-11s, then ships and cars and worst of all biplanes. To feed this addiction requires the purchase of ever more exotic equipment, 0.3MM drills, an airbrush and compressor and hundreds of paints. I don't know how many shades of grey I have. It's got to be more than fifty. :wasntme:

Then you find yourself searching Evil Bay for that elusive out of production kit (I recently bought a Matchbox AW Siskin IIIA) but haven't yet sunk to the depths of whoever paid £509 for an Airfix Vauxhall Victor Estate. :-O

I repeat, read this book at your peril. ;)
