I'm watching a Skymaster (The base for Rhodesias 'Lynx' close support and observation aircraft) and a Lockheed Ventura, which was/is used widely post war as a passenger and cargo carrier.

Bastards, the lot of you.
You know the President Comrade General’s aviation budget just about covers an economy ticket to Mombasa on Air Bongo.

I always preferred the Herc AC-130 version myself; something about a quick-firing 105mm howitzer that stirs the blood (provided you're at the blunt end, obviously).

“Something very different”?

You mean without backstabbing, Ebola, and monkey attacks?

Just won another Corgi Saladin in seemingly very good re-paintable condition for the princely sum of £1.

I could just get 28mm modern kits from Empress but that's no fun. I was very enthused and inspired by Buff's force composition so I've been keeping an eye on the toy sections of bargain shops and such.
