My Dad, who was marooned there at the time
I bet he could have told you some interesting stories from that experience.
He did, more than once. :)
For his 80th birthday I built these two models on a presentation base for him. (The handles sticking out the end were because he dropped it once and I had to re-build it....) The R-R Armoured Car is a Merlin white metal kit, painted up as 'Buffalo' as Dad's car was named, and that's him in the pith helmet and khahki shorts standing at the front. :)
The Audax was Dad's favourite aircraft when he was on IV(AC) Sqdn. at Farnborough in 1935 or so. It started off as an Airfix Demon and John Adams at Aeroclub made me a one-off white metal conversion kit to turn it into an Audax which he later put into production, and a superb job he made of it too.
I might add that it's the ONLY 1/72 bi-plane I've ever made!
