Hi Guys
I am up in Glasgow for a couple of days continuing the process of clearing out my parents effects who both recently passed away.
One item that may be of interest to someone is a table top Spitfire model.
It belonged to my Dad who got it off his brother.
Not sure how old it is.
My Uncle flew Wellingtons during WW2.
I know its not that old and maybe he bought it as he really wanted to be a Single seater fighter pilot (thats the family story I am told) and to remind him of old times !!
Not sure what it is made of but its heavy ish
It comes in two parts so that the plane can be put on a different angles
The plane is about 7 inches in length
It has not been cleaned up so forgive the odd mark or two on it
I am sure it will clean up well
Is it of interest to anyone on the site ?
I really don't want to give it away to a local charity shop without showing it to any collectors here
I appreciate it may be worthless.
I really have no way of knowing but if its of interest let me know
Please see a few pictures as a guide.
Give me a A1 or A2 jacket anyday - I have some idea about them !!
