THE MOST UNDERRATED BRITISH AIRCRAFT OF WORLD WAR II?

HERE'S A VERY INTERESTING CHAT VIDEO in which Greg's Airplanes and Automobiles talks about a childhood meeting at the Revell company's factory. Lucky kid!


SMN report: You'll also find the other reason behind the video, Greg's '...most underrated British plane of World War II.'

We won't spoil the vid by revealing what the aircraft is. But you can click here for other mentions at SMN.

Talking of World War II, we chanced on the movie Midway recently, which is a good reconstruction of the epic Pacific War battle between US forces and Japan. It's packed with truly excellent cgi, plus some admittedly over-the-top dramatic embellishments, but overall Midway is highly watchable. And Woody Harrelson (who played bartender in the still-popular 1980s TV series Cheers) puts in a sterling performance as the famed Admiral Chester W. Nimitz.
