I am sure I will get a few comments, but I find some of this rather tacky and cheap. It seems to me it is a case of maximise the buying potential of the Dam Busters by producing rather trivial merchandise and re-hashing the same old cliché about the raid, the crews and Gibson. Nothing new other than producing it in a all new glossy magazine. This really is a money earning franchise.

Fair comment, Steve. I do like the Tornado, though. There is an in depth interview with Les Munro.
I posted the two adverts in case members wanted to purchase such items. Personally, I'm always looking for unique aircraft with variations to them, as posted in the supplied photo images.
Cheers,

Hi John,

No problem with the post, thank you for bringing it to the attention of the members. I just think that they are flogging anything with a Dam Buster connection and I really don't think IMHO that its done for anything other than financial profit, I find it a little disrespectful.
