With this GB approaching fast I thought we can get the thread started.

This build can incorporate any UK Air Defence Past and Present (Including Support) - this can be from a Sopwith Camel to a E3D. As long as it is connected to UK Air Defence.

It will be running from 01/02/12 - 15/04/12

If you are taking part in this one just add to the thread and I will create a list

Just to throw a spanner in the works Jamie, , does this include types from other air forces as they were technically over here to serve in the defence of the UK.

The American types are the obvious ones, but you have to remember that back in the 50`s the Canadians were asked to send over their F-86`s to plug a gap in the UK`s air defence as the RAF had a shortfall of fighter aircraft for the task believe it or not....!

Sound familiar....

I dont see why not! What we can say is that whatever you decide to enter if you could show a picture of the Aircraft with some information

Only asking as the above opens up a lot of types to be made and I`m not sure if the vote was really for RAF types only?

True! I guess im happy with any aircraft that has been involved with UK Air Defence

It opens its up I guess and we could see a variety of aircraft!

Im in! 1435Flt Tornado F.3 for me. Might add something else if time provides!

Mmmm!
Tentatively throwing my hat in the ring with a 43 sqn Phantom, XV571/A. But i seem to be on a bit of a downer just now! Not lost my mojo(yet!) but seems that other things are taking up my time too much just now!

I'm in gents, if I can sneak another model into the house, and if I get the time! But count me in as a probable!

I`m in, but you know me, I`ll have to go for one of the unusual types.

I'm in as normal. I'll see what everyone else is doing and then i'll add something different.

List updated!

The GB is now open

I was looking at what I had in my stash for this GB and this was at the bottom of the pile. If it doesn't clash with what others are building then i'll build these in age order.

That will make a nice set Steve!

I'm sorta in for this. It's such a broad category that I can't decide what to build for it.

I've got a Lightning that might be a good idea for it, just need to get decals for it.

Still time for you to join the GB!

Just realised I could enter my camo `Tiger` into this one. Everyone alright with that as although I am participating in this GB, I never stated my intentions.

Jamie, same question as for the FC comp, is there going to be an independent thread to post your finished builds.

I don't see there being a problem with it, in fact I welcome it to what has been a very quiet GB compared to the last one. I'm hoping a can squeeze in another build in the form of a Spitfire, once I get this Mosquito finished.
