Harald Penrose was the chief test pilot for Westland - first flights of the Lysander, Whirlwind etc. He was also involved with the Westland-Hill Pterodactyls ( as on the cover ) - an interest of mine....................

A set of seat belts for my spitfire. 
I can see why it got that name!
Pete
There are some interesting videos on YouTube about these little known experiments!

As promised here are my latest 'gissits' from SWMBO (Kate) Das werke Pak 40!
Moulds appear good and clean with excellent detail, no flash but (unfortunately) bl--dy awful rubber tyres! Several options on wheels and other parts. Gun crew appear to be re-christened Dragon figures. Looking forward to creating the diorama for this. Initial impression is 'recommended'! As requested will review this once I get round to the build once all the rest of 'on the bench' is history!

The whole kit is a re-box of the Dragon kit 6249, including the rubber tires and figs..........

A very nice haul!!
Went to a flea market with SWMBO and saw this.
not a great model, according to several reviews, as it's the old Revell kit just re-issued in a new box. It has raised airframe details, a cockpit not so much detailed and many other small imperfections

but decals are cartograph (I know someone will have a fit hearing of 1/32 decals... :rolling:sorry)
and it is the only 1/32 GR1 kit (according to several sources) in that scale.
Last, but not least, I just finished Cdr. Ward's book (it's not a SHAR, but yet an Harrier it is) so I felt the powerful hand of Destiny tapping on my shoulder :surprised:.
For less than 20€ I couldn't resist asking to SWMBO if I had the permission to... :hugging-face: ...and she said yes :relieved::smiling::blow-kiss-2: .
As there is not a significant aftermarket, this is going to become a OOB "Training object" for developing my skills on large scale planes (my final aim is to do a good job with the Eduard limited edition P40N) but I'll try to get the best out of it (and out of me) anyway, sooner or later.
