How to buy a Dominie

RAF Dominie

Today I took a trip up to RAF Cranwell to look at the Dominie the RAF are currently selling, sadly they went out of service at the end of January (after 45 years!) They were used to train rear seat navigators etc.. All the aircraft pictured are airworthy, but in 2 days time, there will be no pilots able to fly them anymore as their currency runs out. So its pretty unlikely they will ever be seen in the skies again. You can expect… Continue

Pierre CLOSTERMANN's last TEMPEST

Skymax issued this model, which is for me very important.

It's the late Pierre Clostermann's (DSO, DFC with Bar, french free air force pilot WWII and 1st Fighter of France) last Hawker Tempest nicknamed "Le grand Charles", referring to Charles de Gaulle.

He ended WWII as "A" Flight Commander of RAF Squ 3 with 23 confirmed victories and 9 probables.

It's one of my best models!!

Regards

Jeff

I encourage everyone who is not a member of SAF yet to give it a try. The atmosphere is very friendly and family like. Like MAC! I think everyone would enjoy it, and with MAC and SAF we should have all fronts covered!
