at yate yesterday....

heller VC-137 [for conversion to a CFM-56 powered 'macmillian one']
heller DC-6B   [similiarly to the above, but as 'attlee one']
dragon arado Ar-234 c/w V-1
airfix cessna O-2A/B
2 a2zee boulton paul balliol [a T2 and a T21]
TAW/MA sea king AEW deflated radome in resin
a ukrainian made antonov an-74
RoG arado ar-234 with some 'dubious looking luft-46 thingy underneath it'

various assorted EB sets for the lansen and the MU-2 and some nice decal sheet finds [esp' from the 580 modellers stand]

also very nice to meet the gang again, especially andrew and his SUPERB supermarine 545 in 56 sqn markings. 

[The Wooksta!]

Attlee was too modest a man to go for something as flashy as that and neither would the other members of the Labour cabinet at the time.  Not until the likes of Blair would you find a Labour politician so in love with himself, his image or his ego.  Although Harold Wilson, Ken Livingston and "Gorgeous" George Galloway come close.  Besides, we were broke and couldn't have afforded it.  A converted Avro York, Tudor or HP Hastings would be more realistic.

RoG Arado Ar-234 with some 'dubious looking luft-46 thingy underneath it'

It's supposedly the Arado E.381 but has some elements of the Heinkel P.1077 'Julia' in it.  Fruitbat did a resin E.381 in the early/mid 90s that was much closer to the real project.  The fit of the Ar 234 is appalling, especially the engines.

So you got it at last?    Can't quite remember what I included but there was two lots (by way of apology for the delay) of the bits you wanted for the York project we discussed at Telford last year (although I had problems with the fin mould hence their non-inclusion).  Can't remember if I included anything else...

I gave Trev the idea for this one. Based on the premise that the war in the far east dragged on for a bit longer.
In reality the RAF received a single C-54B and 22 C-54D's under lend lease. Now if the war dragged on, the Uk may well have received more Skymasters for use in the far east, and possibly some early DC-6/C-118's later on (first flown 1946). Hence the Atlee one idea.

The C-54B the RAF received was apparently earmarked for Churchill to use in place of the York. But the old  boy preferred Ascalon, so the Skymaster was issued to 232 sqd instead. The other C-54 squadron was 246. Post war the RAF Skymaster fleet was returned stateside and issued to the US Navy and Marines.

Merlin 80 series engines by the bucket load, at least one Grand Slam bomb, Lancastrian nose and tail and Lincoln wing tips, to name but a few.

Just a quick question and not to drag the thread too far off topic, but if the war had dragged on, would Atlee have been the PM ?

[Martin H]

in reality Attlee took office on July 26th 1945 while we where still fighting in the far east. The Japanese Instrument of Surrender was signed on the 2nd of September. So for our purposes its not impossible.

[PR19_Kit]

But the prime reason he was elected as PM was the voters in the forces were fed up with the war and all voted Labour. If the war had gone on any longer they'd probably not have had the election.

I know, I was there at the time. 

[Martin H]

no one knew the war would end in september thou

end off this diversion ....normal service on this thread please
