GHOST 71 made the flight up from Hurlburt Field, Fl yesterday, to spend a few hours in our pattern. Note the complete sanitization of all identifiable markings.
Better known as the Jolly Green Giant, although its official name being Stallion. It was low-Level, Long-Range Special operations helicopter, fitted with all the latest bells and whistles.

Two Herks and a Talon
Yesterday's afternoon fence check to catch the Minnesota ANG H-model with the NP2000 props. Ended up with slightly more. The departing T-38C and a Greenville SC secret squirrel L-100-30 Herk were a nice bonus.

Purpose Built
Monday's visitor to East Tennessee. The equipment that adorns this MH-47, allows it to operate in any environment. It's been proven across the world as a highly successful platform for our special operations forces.
A dark-painted Westland Lysander in flight with its boarding ladder still attached, hinting at its role in secret WWII night missions. These aircraft carried agents and supplies into occupied Europe under the cover of darkness. The ladder detail reminds us of the daring operations and ingenuity required for these clandestine flights.
The Westland Lysander touches down at the Shuttleworth Summer Airshow. The Lysander was designed for short take-offs and landings, with its large wing, automatic leading-edge slats and flaps allowing it to operate from surprisingly small and rough fields. That ability later made it invaluable for the secret wartime missions of 161 Squadron, landing by moonlight in occupied France to drop off and collect agents.
There are some wonderful stories about those operations. The Lysander could land in fields little more than clearings, sometimes guided by just a few lights. Its remarkably low-speed handling even allowed agents to climb down a ladder while the aircraft was moving very slowly, rather than requiring a conventional landing.
Shuttleworth's aircraft is painted to represent V9367 “MA-B”, a Special Duties Lysander associated with Pilot Officer Peter Vaughan-Fowler. The fixed ladder and dummy long-range fuel tank are reminders of its clandestine role.
And here, back in the very different surroundings of Old Warden, the little cloud of tyre smoke makes a rather satisfying finish to its landing.
A dark-painted Westland Lysander in flight, built for clandestine WWII night missions. These aircraft inserted agents and delivered supplies behind enemy lines under the cover of darkness. Its high-mounted wings and fixed landing gear allowed precise low-level flying, making it an invaluable tool for covert operations.

Not fully satisfied with the Grunt, Sniper, or Shield operatives. They just look a little plain and boring imo. Probably planning to revise them over time.

The Light Tank M24 is an American light tank used during the latter part of World War II and in postwar conflicts including the Korean War and, with the French, in the War in Algeria and the First Indochina War. In British service it was given the service name Chaffee, after the United States Army General Adna R. Chaffee, Jr., who helped develop the use of tanks in the United States armed forces. While long removed from American and British service, it is still found in service as a light tank in third-world countries, along with other hardware from that era.
Massive credit to all the other Lego Chaffee Tank builders out there, really helped make this one an easier build! ; )
