A former RAF engineer has spent the last 60 years building a model of every single plane flown by the air force - and now has more than their current fleet. Cliff White has made nearly 300 models since he started in 1956 while completing national service - and even hand-carved most of them from scratch. The 85-year-old has filled his home with a scale model of every plane that has ever been in the Royal Air Force fleet, and many more. His impressive collection spans the RAF’s entire history, starting with the classic First World War Sopwith Camel up until today’s cutting-edge Eurofighter Typhoon fast-jet.

Phenomenal! But, as someone else said, they really need to be behind glass for protection. Dust builds up over time and its very hard to remove and you can damage the models if you try cleaning. But well done, sir, I admire your dedication!

@MrSmid888 Год назад

The guys literally cleaning them in the video and jokes if anyone wants to clean them. No dust collects if you dust them a few times a month. And look, he’s a plane 60 years old in his hand, absolutely nothing wrong with it.

@ismailbinbaharuddin9829 3 года назад

My early kits was mainly 1/72nd scale but that grows up into larger 1/48 to 1/32nd.Still has a number of 1/72nd models which needs repair but that will take a while(hundreds of them)

@scottdake8566 2 года назад

Hopefully a museum would take them.

I am 57 still building models. It keeps me young and look much younger !

I still have an Airfix Gladiator that I too bought for 2/- in Woolworths in Watford High Street c 1956. (It has lost its undercart).

@checkpointcharlie1788 5 месяцев назад

Brings back good memories. Nothing better than getting a dollar, going down to the store, and buying a Revell, Airfix, or Matchbox kit; that's how much they were when I was a kid: $1.00

@agdgdgwngo 3 года назад

Brilliant collection, I love how focused it is. There are places that may be interested in taking on the models, for example air museums. I can't remember which one (I think Cosford) has a mighty impressive collection of model planes.

@marcblank3036 Год назад

Hope he will have many years to come to keep his air force active and expanding and has secured a good safe haven for them after he departs this life

@bryanmccann5778 4 года назад

wish i had a big garage id take them on well done sir lovely collection and great building skills :)

@simonstovebolt 4 года назад

Great collection you need to put them behind a sealed glass door, less dusting and cleaning

@ronaldmcdonald8303 21 день назад

Man, you would love the shop I found in my town. It's a post office and on the 1st floor they have a model shop that sells several brands of army men and model kits.

@mateuszobszanski274 Месяц назад

I'm 19 started with the hobby at 17 and I'm only at 10 finished and 3 unfinshed models so I have to say that this is indeed a great airforce

Modelling hobby really needed a lot of space if not just forget it. If not just buy ready build diecast of your most loved plane and keep it safe, that's should be enough to admired it for life. Just my opinion..lol

Hello. My name is Richard. This is my wife Dorothy. Would you like to join us in the bath? Dorothy is a real female skeleton. I have over-active sweat glands. I thought I'd inform you before you get in the bath with us. It'll be a tight squeeze but we'll manage. .
