Saddened to hear of the passing of ‘Paddy’ Hemingway, last surviving Battle of Britain pilot. Looks like I finally need to get that Hurricane kit I’ve had my eye on for a while, as a tribute.

You might wait for the Kotare kit thats coming soon for that.
Truely a sad day, more of our living history is lost.
Saw this news too. The aviation artist Mark Postlethwaite has a nice tribute on his Instagram page, with his famous painting:

The last of the few. Sounds like a good time to build one, as this is the 85th anniversary of the BOB. I’m working on one right now, but it’s an old Monogram Mk. IIC.

I love the idea, but if I had the room for that giant thing, I’d already own a plane!
Yeah, might have just made my next kit choice. Just got that new Hobbyboss 1/48th Mk1.
@Toimi_Tom, (a) nice picture, (b) sadly, I can’t see the post (one of those ancient people without social media accounts). Also, nice new avatar!

Saw that a couple days ago. Soon there won’t be any WWII veterans alive sadly.

RIP to a true hero. We are fast approaching a time when there will be no living survivors of what could be called history’s “greatest” war.
