Ben Allen

I was at Ben Allen's yesterday in Port Melbourne delivering a unit and before I started doing the show-and-tell Ben showed me this "air fix" thing of an 1:1 scaled Aston Martin. It turned out one of his customers shipped it in from the UK as a "toy" for his wife (as an object of display) at their home. Good Gawd. This is expensive toy. I suppose as a talking point this is as good a "toy" as any. 

I remember watching a tv show where James May had a 1:1 scale Spitfire made just like an air fix right down to the pilot, his leather helmet, his joystick control and his machine gun. He had a group of school children assemble it and actually had it towed out to an airfield for display. 






On another note mom has been discharged from St G the same day and she is happy to be home; so are we.
