    Is it me, or is the navigator bored with where they’re going?

      Yeah, you're probably right!! ... However,that pose always reminds me of the Nav sat aside the Wing Commander in the "633 Squadron" final sequence,played by Angus Lennie. :smiling3:

            Yes, he looks like he’s wondering where he is and what the chap next to him is doing

              Nice work Andy.

              The last time I saw the little guy in the above shot from 633 Squadron, he was hanging from a lump of stalag wire in the 'Great Escape'!

                He plays a small part in “O what a lovely war“ that I attributed to Ronny Corbett for years Ron….”It’s no us, it’s the bleeping English”……in the Xmas truce scene.
                Must admit, in that shot above he looks a bit like Norman Wisdom though…..

                      ...... So then,.....
                      Bet you thought I'd forgotten this one eh?.... It's been sat at the end of the bench given me evils whilst I've been sidetracked doing the Achilles and Hetzer.
                      Anyway,as the Hetzer is pretty much finished I thought it about time to do some more on this one....

                              ,. So then, I've done a little more, not exactly LOADS though
                              It's going together very nicely, especially for a ham fisted bugger like me!!
