A quick Google search and it looks like someone at Corgi didn't research thoroughly enough :-?
|
Other than that though she is a cracking bird. :yeah:

Oh yeah, she's a 'keeper'...I'm simply wondering how many other purchasers have noticed :DL |

The website states '18 Sqn' (bottom of page) http://www.tricatus.co.uk/CorgiAA_pages/chinook.htm The box states '7 Sqn' (thankfully) :DL http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/6624/p1000703u.jpg |
All is well in the world of Jim's diecast then. Good, I'm glad it's a keeper.
What's next then Jim? I think you'll have to move on to some of the bigger cold war jets, V-force stuff maybe? :hmmm: |

The V-force (Vulcans, Victors etc) are very tempting but the scale is 1/144 and that is the 'put-off'. |
The latest addition...a Sepecat Jaguar 6 Sqn AA35412...370/1200

Very nice, :yep:

Yes, I have a soft spot for the Jaguar.
|
She doesn't get a lot of the attention that other British jets have got, like the Tonka and Tiffie, a sound aircraft though, good for beating the Rush hour traffic on the motorways:

First time I've seen that :DL

My first experience of losing a pilot on station was a Jag crash at coltishall in '96. Amazing how the whole unit feels it.
The best thing whilst at Coltishall was the simulated airfield attacks where four uber-low Jags would appear simultaneously over the airfield, at great speed. :yeah: Also recall a C-141 taking off fully laden en-route to Greece with F-16 spares, I was on air traffic's balcony and we all had bets as to how much runway it'd use compared to the Jags (who used most of it), we all thought equal or greater than a Jag but reality was near half!!! |

When they stopped to manufacture, jet aircraft Jaguar, :hmm2:
