Saw a few while wandering among the table, probably missed a lot more.





Nice idea!



Tweaking the JMNs!



The late and legendary Mike McEvoy



Nice Monty Python display, but I didn't expect those guys on the left.



Sneaky!



Traffic wardens are everywhere





Love the boot!



A rather twisted, literally, F-15





And finally, a couple of RAF X-Wing fighters

Nice work on getting shots of those. That is why I spend a lot more time at SMW (on the rare occasion I actually get over there) around the clubs and SIG's than the competition area.

Great pictures! The de Havilland DH 108 vs He162 is fantastic.

 What is Adolf holding in his left hand?

No idea, I should have asked them.

 He's chewing a shoe, if memory serves. I have a bagged version of the kit someplace-will probably never get around to it,

On the box of the Parks 'Born Losers' Hitler kit, they mention "a tasty rug snack".

Apparently, in German, Teppichfresser (carpet-eaters) are people who completely lose it during tantrums. So, 'carpet-eater' was Adolf's behind-his-back nickname with senior Nazi officials who were regularly subjected to his temper.

Outsiders had rather less polite epitaphs for the man.
