  1. I did post a note earlier but I think it got lost in the ether. I tholed my assize as a navigator on Shacks in the 50's and at that time the nav table stretched from the siggie's position as far back as the main spar with four seats for the tac-nav, route-nav and two sonics plotters. The inside was painted a fetching black and no sound-proofing of course, which meant a nice jolly to CMU in London once a year to get ears checked. The white with grey top colour scheme disappeared in the mid 50's as did the mid-upper turret. I think we have ended up with an MR2 outside and AEW inside. I understand the predicament Airfix are in when there are major changes in aircraft fits and sadly WR963 is not a typical MR2 and I plan to finish mine as I remember as it was when I served on it. Having said that, I think the photos show an outstanding model.
