ebay do some - search beaufighter, and then have a look under toys - diecast. They're not usually cheap though.

Thanks Kyt, been banging around there. No luck so far. Would prefer an Aussie one too to make things harder!

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Flicking through some books I found a piccie I'd forgotten about. The straight smoke trail shows that the rockets weren't as inaccurate as sometimes claimed.

I noticed in that Mossie shipping strike posted last week that one of the Mossies salvoed its rockets and they dropped short. Bet there was some cursing there.
