aerial photograph of the Airfix Spitfire roundabout at Gynn Roundabout Blackpool Lancashire UK. The display consists of 3 giant sized Airfix model Spitfires which represent Spitfires stationed at Blackpool Airport during the Second World War. Airfix has also marked the occasion by bringing out a limited edition of its model spitfire. It was the Airfix Spitfire which started my own flying career around 1976 when I was 11. Nearly 50 years later I am still playing with aeroplanes but these days they are usually a bit bigger with a scale 1:1 rather than 1:72 !
