Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window

[porphyry]

These are Andrew's latest toys, which, I am pleased to be able to say, he actually likes. Who knew that one would be able to get such nice things anymore?



The large one is a de Haviland Mosquito Mark VI. I was compeletely flabbergasted when I saw this one on offer on the web.

The Blue one is an F-18 Hornet painted in air-show colors, which Andrew thinks is Big Jet from the Little Eisnteins (if you don't know what that means count yourself fortunate). Big Jet is really an F-15, but since its painted blue, Andrew more easily accepts this as him than he would have the actual F-15 in the series which was painted in desert camoflage. The next one a German Comet from the War (really a rocket rather than a true aeroplane), and finally an A-10 Warthog; this he knows from a video I showed him on you-tube of an A-10 shooting up tanks on a fireing range with its gattling gun after he enquired about Big-0's gattling gun.

So does that mean that the toy found on Midway Island might be around 20 to 25 years old?

I imagine, but that doens't necessarily mean it was in thewater that long.
