This is the first meeting that I have missed in 2 1/2 years but my arthritis finally got too much for me. I will be back next month. In the meantime, John Ovenden kindly took some photos and Peter Terry filled me in with all the details. There were eight models on the table so here goes...
Peter wrote: "Nine members attended on a very warm evening with military subjects in abundance John Ovenden's one sixteenth early Panzer IIb made a very impressive presence as did Jeff Adams' Napoleonic figures including Napoleon himself depicted asleep with feet up on a drum. Jeff's Sherman tank was work in progress. Bill Banks 1/48 scale Lublin flying boat from a very old Polish kit made a very unusual subject for the table but Bill has now taken delivery of a kit of a Spitfire, newly released from the Airfix range! That will make a big change for Bills modelling tempo.
Peter Carlo presented his latest 1/48 scale aircraft model of the Airfix TSR 2 in what-if markings of a operational RAF Squadron giving us a glimpse of what might have been if the political pickle of past years had not taken place, making a good point of discussion during the evening.
Peter Terry presented a small 1/76 scale collection of vehicle's used by the Africa Korps between the 1941-2 period painted and detailed from German photographic archives. John Rose made a very nice model Panzer IV making a step change from the Sherman production for which much of his modelling fame comes."
