To the chaps in the south west, wales and the west coast, good luck, hope the workshops hold out. I'm a bit worried about my new garden building (first real test) and an oak tree which is on it's last legs, if it goes over it shouldn't hit anything but it would make a mess. Hope the headline...

Hi, I know we have a lot of plane collectors but I'm more of a car man, only started recently to look for these but it's a really big itch now. I'm hooked, they are all tri-angs from the 50's and 60's, I think the grey one is the oldest 1955 ish, a T50 meteor, then the red royal prince, which...
