Wobbly Aircraft Models

Does anybody know where I can get my hands on 'wobbly' aircraft models? I know there was a place in Scotland called Plane Crazy that did them but I can't find their contact details.

Thanks for any help.

Wobbly aircraft models

Wobbly aircraft models?

Perhaps the antisynergistic (new wanqueword for staff thrusters!) result of mixing this:

with this:

'Locate and cement 'newt' to bang seat'....

I have no idea whatsoever what the question is. Is it:

a) A wobbly model of an aircraft.

b) A model of a wobbly aircraft.

c) An aircraft model made by Mr Wobbly.

?

BEags,

Right aircraft for Newt (FMk2A), but it has a canopy on it - he preferred the cabriolet version!

Cheek! You can of course make the model without the canopy and show a very detailed cockpit with the pilot glued to the ejector seat

Think BEagle probably had more than a few pints of "wobbly" in his time!

Prefer 1/72 these days Beag's!

Some would say I'm still larger than life!

And twice as ugly!

I seem to recall that the late Andy Gough (CFI / Manager of the RAFGSA at Bicester) had a model of a Gannet on his desk, battery powered the prop spun round, the wings flapped & the whole thing moved about, dammed hard work to have a serious conversation with him while it was working
