Made plenty of those in the past, thank you for putting my link in your disciption on the Ark Royal, glad you like the build so far. Regards Lindsey's builds
Great video as always Barry.. I’m from the same era as you, and can relate to many of your tales.. Just got my K2/Y from Amazon. Can’t wait to start that, as soon as get some time!
Speaking of older family nembers my great grandfather on my mothers side served in the british army in ww1,then served in the Irish free state army during the irish war of indenpdence and civil war and then re enlisted in the british army when ww2 kicked off and he came out the other side without a scratch finally passing away in 1980 in "saint Brichens" military hospital here in Dublin.
@jaws666 must have had some stories then! Grandad dabbled with the middle east too, then spent a fair while in Kenya. Wish he stuck around longer so I could have heard more about it.
A beautiful piece if your family history there
Nice to see an old favourite again. 👍👍👍
Lovely vintage kit...it has something about it
Takes me back to early 70's. When I built mine I had a Swordfish expert at home, my father an ex Swordfish air mechanic.
That's handy. My grandad was a rigger I believe.
Great unboxing Barry! I can remember the rush of adrenaline I used to get when I laid my eyes on Roy cross artwork as a lad! Great channel!
Yeah, Matchbox was great!

That's impressive!
@@nostalgicplastic4323 lets just say he was a sucker for a good fight...during ww2 he fought in the african campagin in Lybia and Egypt

@@nostalgicplastic4323 same here...i was only 5 when he passed away...im now 48 .i could have listened to him all day long
@jaws666 different generation eh. Still, we remember them.
I hope Airfix think about doing a larger scale of the Swordfish.
That would be brilliant
I have both the Ark Royal kit you mentioned and a Trumpeter 1/32 Swordfish in my stash. It's a lovely kit, but the PE rigging isn't great.
Ah, I was thinking of trying a Trumpeter, so if they do a Swordfish, bingo! I'd probably struggle with rigging anyway. Cheers!
@@nostalgicplastic4323 They do both a Mk i and a Mk II
Let me guess...another Gem from Sarah?
Seems to be a recurring theme...
@@nostalgicplastic4323 shes a keeper.🙂🙂
