BoB GB proposal idea

[PaulTRose]

Something that was mentioned in that Airfix new products vid prompted this

Its 85 years since the Battle of Britain.

So how bout a GB?

Theres a list of BoB aircraft on wiki......lots of different planes.....scope for dios

Think we did one for 75 years.....cant remember.......didnt we run it to the official dates of the battle?

[Tim Marlow]

Might be interested in that. I have a couple of kits in the stash that are suitable.

[Steven000]

Me too, I still have a Hurricane waiting in the stash, but not much bench-time lately, so will depend a bit on the time-frame whether I can join or not.

[PaulTRose]

Well if we did it to the dates of the real battle it would be june to october

[Jim R]

Sounds like a worthwhile GB and the later part of the year doesn't clash with other GBs.

[Neil Merryweather]

I'd be in -got plenty of candidates and I haven't built a plane for ages

[Ian M]

Sounds like a good idea. Are we just talking Aircraft or are we going to remember all that took part...

Ooh I could do a pilot

[Valeron]

I'd be up for this.

[PaulTRose]

Like neil just said theres options other than aircraft......must be plenty of figures......must be some vehicles although its 1940 dont forget so things like airfix emergency vehicles wouldnt count

theres a list of aircraft

We did do one before, for the 80th, but I'm sure it will always be a popular topic.

I’m up for this one, should have my new workspace in operation by then.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

I am in depending on the dates. So far we have the "Alan G memorial build", then the "Vintage Airfix build" followed by "Paint It Black". Should be OK to go.
