Heres the 1964 FROG tooling of Amy Johnsons record breaking de Havilland dh60 Gipsy Moth “Jason”
A simple but basically accurate little kit just needing a bit of extra help . Build thread can be found here - https://www.scalemodelling.co.uk/threads/frog-1-72-de-havilland-dh-60-g-gypsy-moth.1276331/
A fascinating woman and story , born in Hull , went to university in Sheffield then worked down London before doing the incredible England to Australia solo flight . Became a celebrity and later during wartime joined the ATA , ferrying aircraft from factory to squadrons , sadly losing her life doing so , crashing into the thames estuary in unknown circumstances and her body never found .
Anyway look it up its a great story , heres the pics including the last one -I altered it a bit to try and make it look like a period photograph . Comments , criticisms , groundless abuse , rumour, tittle tattle , cash , cheques , postal orders and green shield stamps welcome .
Cheers tony
