Top stuff ! Full wire rigging I hope,,,,

I'm sure some elastic string will work. In reality the Bulldog was retired in 37 but needs must. Maybe they weren't guarding them as well as the new fangled Gladiators.

I thought about rigging and even made some sprue extrusion bits but in the end decided life was too short

You can get lycra (or similar) thread at the haberdashers. It's the same stuff as sold to aeromodellers for rigging but much cheaper. As it's got some elasticity there's a bit of flexibility built in. Same stuff works well for rigging ships too.

I had no idea the Bulldog lasted so long, when was the Fury retired?

The South Africans were still using the Fury in East Africa in 1941 & apparently the Yugoslavs still had them too.

Outstanding day today. Many thanks to Purps, LT and GM for all the hard work and the usual great gaming company. Peeler is now a fan of gliders...

Yes, another smashing weekend! Thanks to everyone who made it possible!

[Purple]

This sums up Ayton nicely.
