Subject: Jetstream
Manufacturer: Airfix
Constructed in 1983
Pity that Airfix didn't offer the kit as the RAF
navigator trainer version at the time. They were a daily sight above the house,
operating from RAF Finningley just down the road and sadly now closed. I once
read that these aircraft cost £11M apiece! Typical Airfix kit of the time -
raised panel lines and a mix of good and rather poor fit of parts - the
turboprops were crap. Pardon my French! Sorry Nathalie!
Well worth a bit of effort if you like the type.
