Sadly, the Airfix Spitfire is no more. Thirty-one of the company’s 41 employees were last night made redundant after “severe cash flow pressures” and disruption of supplies from Heller – itself now insolvent – finally shot down the company.

Aahhh … I had all these when I was but a lad. Spitfires Hurricanes Lancasters Sopwith Camels. Used to hang them from my ceiling as if they were flying. The cheapest kits were 2 shillings (10p) and they came in a plastic bag with the instructions stapled over to seal it. Woolworths in Kirkintilloch was the place to buy them then. Saturday trips with pocket money and all that.
see ya
