Have to agree Dave. Even have the same feelings about aircraft carriers, old or new.... Somehow they just don't have the same draw as the 'gun' equipped ships.... Especially the bigger ones.

A big part of it, really, is German occupation signs. The direction signs (ARNHEM and EINDHOVEN) are totally un-Dutch. Compare:

The pointy ones are German, the rectangular ones are ANWB (the Dutch AA) signs of the pre-war type. Also, I’m wondering if they took the ARNHEM sign from a photo, or made it generic and missed that the Germans would have likely spelled it ARNHEIM (though they didn’t in the photo above either, so your guess is as good as mine).
The traffic signs seem OK, but right now I can’t find a 1930s booklet I have with official signs in it, so it’s hard to be really sure about them.

Leonardo is a major Italian defence contractor, which has taken over SIAI Marchetti & Aermacchi & the M-345 is a development of the S-211 trainer ( looks a little Alpha-Jetish! )

Leonardo is the current name for a conglomerate that includes former companies like AgustaWestland (previously Agusta in Italy and Westland in the UK), Aermacchi and OTO Melara. All very convoluted and confusing if you try to read up on it …
Westlands, Yeovil, Somerset, was renamed to Leonardos a couple of years back.
Still see the Apache, Merlin and multiple other helos doing their calibration checks...
Something new and different from Takom...
Yeah I might be interested?!
