Happy New Year everyone! For no other reason than I feel like it, here's a couple of Phantoms at NAS Point Mugu back in 1999.

One more from my trip to @newarkairmuseum.bsky.social today (can you tell I don't get out much? 🤣). MR.3s are my least favourite Shackleton variant, but it's still a shack!

Don't suppose anyone out there had used the Flightpath 1/72 detail set for the Tornado F.3. I'm struggling to understand how most of it is supposed to go together, the instrument panels don't even seem to fit the kit parts 😟

Too cold to paint my Crusader, so going to have to start building something else instead. Feeling like a Tornado, hopefully going to be a 43 sqn machine 👍

Every time it's pissing down outside I remember back to the south of England for the D-Day 50th remembrance events in 1994, and I realise it's not actually that wet!! ☔🌨️

This is such a good book, Tornado such a good looking machine, esp in its element - low level. Thanks for putting it out there Scott! Not sure if you're on here... #avgeek
