I thought an astrologer was a person that studies as.....nevermind.


Anyway.....I hope they look better than these pictures (I know they always do), that Mediterranean Theatre of Operations AA35310 B-25C Mitchell looks like it has YELLOW on it

I'm hoping that means the Lysander will have the centreline tank and the ladder attached to the fuselage, as that's the Lysander I'd hoped would be made. (It's not going to have either of those relatively simple additions that would give the model that little something extra to represent the special roles played by those aircraft and crewmen though, is it?)

I was hoping for the same S.O.E Lysander

Since I just LOVE NF aircraft, I'll have to have the Typhie, Lysie, and Sword!!!

Well, the way things are going, if Corgi did make a P-61, it would retail for around $100. As fervent as you Black Widow fans are, I highly doubt it would sell in large numbers, or make the kind of money Corgi seems to be interested in. I even have my doubts about the Catalina and Ju 88 with the new pricing structure.

“Jiminy Cricket” is depicted as it flew for the Sicily operation in improvised night camouflage. It was one of the original 52 C-47s that deployed to Egypt with the 316th TCG in December 1942.

Fairey Swordfish Mk.I
Fleet Air Arm, 815 Naval Air Squadron, HMS Illustrious 1940
Fourth Quarter 2007

In April 1940, the 815 Naval Squadron as attached to RAF Coastal Command at Bircham Newton. In May 1940, the squadron provided support to the Dunkirk evacuation. In June 1940, the squadron embarked on HMS Illustrious and sailed for the Mediterranean in August, attacking and minelaying Benghazi, Rhodes and Tobruk. In November 1940 the entire squadron took part in the attack on the Italian Fleet at Taranto. The CO Lt. Col. K. Williamson RN and crew were lost and taken POW during the operation. In December 1940, two Italian convoy ships were sunk off Sicily, but HMS Illustrious was severely damaged in a dive bombing attack in January 1941. Five of the squadron aircraft escaped to Malta and combined with the remnants of 819 and 821 to re-form as a new 815 squadron under the same CO.
