Norfolk Antiques .......
I had to work away last week. Came across this during an afternoon off, and couldn't resist paying a few shekels for it.
I think it might be close to 1:24, or a bit bigger. It's made out of aluminium.
Now, where to put it?

In the bin because it's not a Hurricane

Re: Norfolk Antiques .......
Even though it's not the mighty beast that is the Hurricane , I must admit it's a thing of beauty, is it a one off or can you buy others?

Very nice Nails
I remember seeing a similar model at the shop at Duxford I think it was - but can't remember if it's the same or not. I'll have a dig, in case I took a photo.

Re: Norfolk Antiques .......
Very nice. Like Bunny I do recall seeing similar before. Whether Duxford or somewhere else I'm not sure.
Re: Norfolk Antiques .......
Aye - checked but no photos by the looks of it. I'm pretty certain they had one very similar in the window at Duxford because I drooled over it. Thinking about it, I think Pariah and Broady were also there looking around too.
If it's the same, it wasn't cheap, but the details was gorgeous!

Re: Norfolk Antiques .......
It does look similar, but I can't remember exactly. Was a nice bit of kit certainly, and if anything this one looks even nicer.
I must go up to the skies again, to the peace of silent flight, To the gull’s way, and the hawk’s way, and the free wings’ delight;
And all I ask is a friendly joke with a laughing fellow rover, And a large beer, and a deep sleep, when the long flight’s over.
