Good thread. Circa 1965 I bought an Airfix ME 110 which I proudly showed to my Dad who was a WW2 RNVR veteran. He promptly told me that the last time he has seen one was when he was legging it along the dockyard in Portland Bill as it attempted to cut him to pieces with strafing fire.
After that every Airfix kit bore RAF roundels. I graduated to KielKraft rubber powered models (never go the hang of control line) then flew gliders when I was 16, onto a PPL, the RAF and then the airlines.
Now . . . this begs the question:
What the heck do kids play with these days? Is it all PC games? Do any of them make models?
