On the other hand it makes noises and as far as I can remember I bought two of them for less than £10 a few years back - when they were used to house the air support for a Vietnam game. I expect that the Forger pilots would be greatful for any ship they can land on!Tim Gowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561988214539953646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-34328550242862632011-03-24T16:46:18.638+00:002011-03-24T16:46:18.638+00:00Nice looking jets.

I only wish that the UK had persisted with the P1154; we might be finding its later models useful these days!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-42839008901616088322011-03-24T10:45:50.120+00:002011-03-24T10:45:50.120+00:00Paul
