Thanks Pantherman, going to buy new model. Dad was with the MAEE & then AFEE, secret wings of RAF in WW2.

 I have been collecting models of aircraft he flew in, or photographed. i.e. Sunderland, Catalina, Heinkel 115, at Sherburn the Flying Jeep and  Focke Achgelis autogiro then the Drache helicopter (Beaulieu)  photographed when it crashed. The flying jeep trials involved jeep being pulled at speed towed by the requisitioned  ex Birkin Bentley. The rear seats of the Bentley were taken out to accommodate photographer and equipment
