If anyone wants a Ryanair B737-800 kit i have 10 for sale. I bought them from TK max for a stupidly low price with the aim of doing others. Never likely to get round to them now!

Richard

How much are you wanting for one?

Wow...a Ryanair kit...seeing how they charge for air fares I can imagine the kit came with no box, undercarriage (optional - just jump) and no seats!

And a £30 charge if you forget to print off the instructions at home beforehand

This is the kind of aviation I like, my favourite helicopter showing off 

cheers John.


Chinook CH-47 RAF HC Mk2/2A Boeing helicoptor-tactical, landing with reverse takeoff!

[Jimmy77]

Thats some good chopper flying!

I spent my early aviation years as a mechanic on these beautiful birds... Now i work in a nice warm comfortable office, but nothing beats the smell of Jet-A1, getting covered in oil and grease, going home smelling like a chemistry experiment! 



Cheers,

I've just bought a Vulcan bomber, I like the delta wings    The airspace above my layout is set to become even more crowded. The model is 1:200 so it's under scale, I will have to place it so the discrepancy isn't too noticable.

As a matter of interest, has anyone out there modelled an N scale airfield?

Chinook is my second with helicopters i have always had a soft spot for seakings with my dad working on SAR units in cornwall and Prestwick as a lad, and he worked on MASU the guys delivering this helicopter

as a fly navy kind of person i'm not sure about this two faced livery

This aircraft is impressive for what is inside; double bed in bedroom, gold fittings in bathroom, fabulous seating, etc; and it's just up the road (about half a mile) from me;



They've also got a Concorde there;



I was fortunate enough to fly on one from New York to Heathrow and was allowed in the cockpit while cruising at mach 2.

A Virgin Little Red - A320s leased off of Aer Lingus, using Aer Lingus crews...!!!!
Wondered how long it would take for Virgin to get into the domestic flights market though, they've only been flying since about March I think.
