New book by Dave Forster & Chris Gibson.  Compliment to Vulcan's Hammer and Battle Flight covering both real and proposed stuff, sounds tasty.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Don't worry, it's not released until end of July so plenty of time to save.

Does that Canberra have an R2D2 as a Nav in the back seat?  :o :unsure:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

No, actually it looks like the later R5 type astromechs, with the 'flowerpot' style 'head'... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
