Mr Evans,Sir,
Now you have excelled. In 1938,Imperial Airways produced a model of the Mayo & Mercury. It had interior lights and all eight props could be set running.I was a boy of nine.My father obtained one for me.It was my pride and joy.In 1940 the Luftwaffa sent a bombing raid to destroy the Supermarine works,where the Spifire was designed and produced.Our house was half a mile away and destroyed by incendaries,bloody awful bomb aimers!!
Sadly my model also..plus a lot of my fathers memorabilia.Would give a lot now, for it to have survived. Thanks again.
