Well, next year is the 75th anniversary of Operation Pedestal......the subject matter can be nicely varied, but it does commemorate a very specific (and pivotal) event in WWII

(Which included Spitfires.... ;-) )
Best wishes

Operation Pedestal sounds good, I have a 1/700 SS Ohio to build.

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

That's even more than I would have guessed. Somebody needs to buy you the James May 1/1 one next.
