brian berke's helijet launch pad


Hello, 

In reply to todays Space Patrol Launch pad; 

As today is publication date for the second issue of the new Dan Dare comic here is a photo of my Helijet launch pad on my Hornby Dublo layout. 

Regards,

  1. Thanks for dropping us a line Brian. I like your helipad a lot and the Hornby background scenery looks fascinating. Is the Dan Dare copter a model?

  2. Just as Frank Hampson based the Helijet on the Westland Dragonfly, or Sikorski S51, I modified a 1/72 scale construction kit of same.

    In the background you can see Her Majesty and Prince Philip on the back of a Land Rover inspecting the Middlesex Regiment at Ingles Barracks, Mill Hill, London.

    I know it's not accurate, but it's my world set in the mid 50's and that's the way it's depicted!

    1. That's a great Kitbash Brian. Very effective. I like the royal rover in the distance! The whole diorama looks like you've put a lot of work into it. More images always welcome.

  3. Nice, you can't have too many launch pads.

    1. I wonder of there is a collective noun for many launch pads?
