order them by the display box from Amazon gents,  delivered straight to the door  :thumbsup:   ( where's the reclining sleepily wile stuffed in a chair smiley?)

I tried that a year or so ago and they never arrived and I claimed my money back. I keep looking at our post lady with the utmost suspicion...........

I'm afraid as far as chocolate goes I like mine unadulterated with nothing but nuts and biscuit.

If without then plain chocolate if with nuts or biscuit then milk. A favourite from the school tuck shop (yes Secondary Moderns did have them) was by Carrs  :thumbsup: Milk chocolate covered crispy biscuit, but quite thin so not like Kit Kat

From the Glasgow show to-day, not a lot.

From a stash sale on the Aberdeen modellers stand, and at very reasonable prices :
Matchbox Handley Page Heyford I saw one of these on a well known second hand dealers stand at twice the price.
Airfix F-86D.

From Little Cars :
A new respirator for airbrushing.
An airbrush cleaning pot (something I have needed for ages.

for once ive ben to a show (Glasgow) and not brought a single thing model related. Altough a nice TSR-2 canvas painting has been aquired.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

From the Glasgow show today

From the stash clearance sale by Aberdeen modellers
1 x 1/72 F-14A Tomcat boxing K12X so its one of the very nice ones. Destined to be Royal Navy

From TsrJoe
1 x 1/72 Novo Lynx, thinking of making a BBC version of Airwolf so similar in shape but not quality

You mean Airwolf?  

If you do write the backstory, have the producer as Douglas Camfield and Graeme Harper as principal director.  Set it in Scotland.  Hawke?  Mmmn. Robert Glennister, or possibly Trevor Eve.  Roy Marsden as Archangel, Joanne Whalley Kilmer as Gabrielle, Gabrielle Drake as Marella, Brian Blessed as Dominic Santini (keep the name due to the large Italian community in Scotland), keep David Hemmings as Moffet (Moffet was English, thus appealing to Scots nationalists as a villain).   Hawke could live up next to a scottish loch. 

Wouldn't have to be too different, although Hawke's brother could have been on a "fishing trawler" (ie a spy ship) that went missing near the russian arctic and captured.

That's a neat idea: there was that series about the RAF (can't recall what it was called) that got all sorts of service co-operation so it might well be practical, despite crowded UK airspace. Another option would be to have some or all flying scenes filmed in Canada.

Thinking about it some more, it wouldn't have to be (and probably shouldn't be) a straight Airwolf rip-off. It's more likely the BBC would look at the craze for "hardware" series (Knight Rider, Street Hawk, Blue Thunder, Airwolf etc..) and produce something "in the spirit of" but with a British twist.

I think the program your referring to was "Squadron" which had several aircraft types allocated to it including Phantoms and Jaguars and Harriers. There was also a program about life an a Leander class Frigate called "Warship".
