Ha ha! Thanks for that! So now I know I wasn't imagining it all! Loved the models you have done, specially the Proctor, and thanks for the 'Biggles Books' site link too! Should dig out my surviving books and read them again...VickersVandal wrote:Biggles Flies North.Asoka wrote:A Biggles whiffer! What a find!
Love Biggles, and still have a few books with me. Maybe you can help me with a nagging memory I have of a book where Biggles and the baddies all fly fictional aircraft with names like 'McDougal J45' etc., and in a "dog-fight' Biggles throws a large can of corned beef (or something!) and hits the other plane causing it to crash! Would love to know if you remember this and maybe you even have the book?
Cheers!

Algy, leaning out of the side window of the "Bluewing Jupiter" hurls a crate of corned beef at the bad guys' "Weinkel Transport" (which had just shot down Wilks' "Rockheed Freighter"), shattering its mainspar and sending it into the floor.

I own a copy, in an omnibus though, not on its own.
I built a Weinkel (using a HE70 kit) a while back. I'm currently working on both the Rockheed and the Jupiter.
