In my case, my daughter had JUST told me what the budget is for my birthday present..... It will largely pay for the 1/72 Takom M60 dual combo kit I have on pre-order with John.... And possibly the new Airfix 410.....

He could always be tempted back to the StuG away from the floaters :smiling5:

Too bad the Germans never developed an amphibious StuG …

The ex-MP 'The Rt Hon Patrick Mercer' was once an officer in my old Regiment... I wonder if he's part of General Mercer's family linage?

Parick Mercer followed his father, who saw wartime service in the Sherwood Foresters (Notts & Derby Regiment), into the British Army. He was commissioned into the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment on 8 March 1975 as a second lieutenant. His service number was 499748.[9] On 8 March 1977, he was promoted to lieutenant.[10] He was promoted to captain on 8 September 1981,[11] and to major on 30 September 1988.[12] On 30 June 1994, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel,[13] then to colonel on 30 June 1998.[14]

During his time in the Army, Mercer completed nine tours in Northern Ireland and latterly commanded his battalion in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada and Tidworth. Mercer served at both the Staff College, Camberley, and the Army's University at Cranfield.

Mercer was Mentioned in Despatches in 1983 for "gallant and distinguished service in Northern Ireland during the period 1 November 1982 to 31 January 1983".[15] He earned a gallantry commendation in 1990. He was made an MBE on 12 October 1993 "in recognition of distinguished service in Northern Ireland".[16] He was made an OBE on 13 May 1997 "in recognition of gallant and distinguished services in the former Yugoslavia during the period 21 June to 20 December 1996".[17] He left the Army in 1999 as a colonel, He retired from the army on 1 September 1999,[18] his last posting having been as head of communications and strategy at the Army Training and Recruiting Agency.[citation needed]
