Airfix Memories

A rather disappointing exhibition at the RAF Museum at Hendon on the history of Airfix construction kits.. a few kits and some lovely artwork however so evocative I was again the 12 year boy exploring Woolworth's store in Clapham Junction to see how I could spend my 50p pocket money..

A less common hobby today of course, but in 30 years we will be celebrating the cultural impact of minecraft I'm sure..

Escape Map iPad Case

Loving this – a very cool iPad/tablet case made from genuine cold war era silk escape maps ! A bit expensive but each is unique and made by the people at www.homefrontvintage.co.uk.

So if I ever get shot down over Romania with my iPad I'm sorted !

Google Plus Exclusive First Look
Just got this from the guys at Glenn who are finalizing the new special edition DVD/BluRay version of Ascent:Commemorating Shuttle which this will be an extra on. The video is shot from the Solid Rocket Booster Perspective up and down with enhanced sound thanks to Ben Burtt's son and the folks at Skywalker Sound. The team is still trying to figure out how to release this all to the public, but for now enjoy an exclusive first look. +NASA youtube doesn't even have the video.
