Lather, rinse, repeat.

Your collection is quite impressive.

Cheers and if I'm tbh, this is the hobby that has beaten all previous hobbies with regard to financial outlay/expenditure.

I dread the day grandchildren come along and I arrive back home only to witness one of the little ankle biters playing with one on the floor

Time to fit locks on the display cabinets doors me thinks

The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.

Why dread it? Do like I did and move 700 miles away.
That would save you on the lock expense.

Very nice Jim, a shame when it appears at Fairford it'll be standard grey livery. Beggars can't be choosers I guess

All the best mate.

Aktungbby · 06-15-15, 03:25 PM

GORGEOUS! I sure hope the boxes are kept as well; it drives up the value as your rather unique hobby is becoming quite a 'collector item' attraction. A lesson I learned the hard way when some of my old toys went on the block-(mom's little garage sale.)

IE: my first simulator

my old Remco Flying Fox "simulator' It had every thing!

the Cessna 172 was cinch after that!

Yep, keeping the boxes in good condition is a high priority in this hobby....mine are in sealed plastic bin bags stored in the loft mainly but some are secreted in the ottoman bed and man cave

Just ordered the D-Day anniversary version from the same outlet.
