Der Der Der Der de de de de de etc......(Can't remember the tune, just know the words)

You'd need a Lancaster to go with that tune (and a much bigger shed to build it in).

Tamiya have just released a new 1/32 scale Mk.IX kit which might float your boat - try www.hlj.com for a peek. Edited to add: on the homepage, click on the toolbar link marked Aircraft & it'll take you straight to the page the kit's on, 2nd item down. Enjoy!

Damn I thought Aifix were making a model of the best kicker in world rugby...... Mossy

1/24th scale is for poofs.

What about James May's life-size Airfix Spitfire

Contact the Central Band RAF, they know it off by heart

Airfixs' attempt to gain a foothold in the Adult Entertainment sector did not start well.

Looks like they've put the bomb doors in the wrong position there

and for those of us who lack the patience/dexterity to do Airfix properly,

The modelzone shops are selling of 1/48 Franklin mint aircraft for £19.99 instead of £59.99, with a choice of two Mossies.

Not as nice as a 1/24 obviously but ready built and still a decent size

No...you're thinking of the dambusters. I'm talking about 633 Squadron. Same basic idea just a cliff instead of a dam, and using Mossies instead of Lancasters. There was another film about the low level raid on Amiens prison, carried out by Mossies. Pretty cool stuff even if they were crabs.

IIRC there was also an EW version of the Mosquito, which jammed, or spoofed, the Luftwaffe homing beacons used by their bombers, resulting in huge amounts of bombs being dropped onto empty heathland instead of the real targets. The Jerries couldn't understand why the post mission BDA showed no damage when the munitions had been jettisoned at exactly the right place.
