Hello all, I've (fairly) recently returned to the hobby, my main interest is warships but armour is a very close second. As far as aircraft are concerned, I've done all the ww2 stuff and I now concentrate on FAA aircraft.
Former Royal Marine, lucky enough to have served on the last catapult equipped RN carrier - HMS Ark Royal iv (R09), and HMS Hermes R12 when she was a Commando Carrier - only thing missing was AFV's!
