Pictures of the first metal shots of the new 1/48th scale English Electric Lightning F.6 tooling.

Aviation Archive collectors will no doubt be aware of the inclusion of an exciting new tooling from Corgi in their latest catalog – the English Electric Lightning F.6 in 1/48th scale. These are photos from the Corgi website.

Corgi AA34811 Vickers Wellington R1162 / AA-Y, ‘Y For Yorker’, RAF Feltwell, Norfolk, 1941.

Shuttle posted some pics of the latest Corgi Vickers Wellington release on DAF some weeks ago.

Here are some photos of the production model of the Wellington. First point - no decals, just good tampo printing. The colours appear to be fine and it is a good representation of a Wellington - the bomb dropping soda syphon carried by R1162 ‘Y for Yorker’ has been well done and is a nice touch.

US trains simulated swarming attack maneuvers.

About 35 local boat captains simulated swarming attack maneuvers in fishing boats rigged with machine guns while fighter jets, attack helicopters, and the A-10 "Warthog" simulated attacks from above in the Choctawatchee Bay, Florida.

The Air Force at Eglin Air Force Base organized the simulation, called Combat Hammer, to address one of the more pressing threats to the US navy — attacks from swarming fast-attack craft.

In the Persian Gulf, Iran has repeatedly used small, agile attack craft to harass US Navy ships in dangerous encounters that could lead to a broader conflict in a moment's notice.

US Navy ships have had to go as far as firing warning shots at approaching vessels, but that was before Iranian-backed Houthi militants used a suicide boat laden with explosives to kill two aboard a Saudi Arabian Navy vessel off the coast of Yemen.

The Navy was already aware of the threat posed to their large, multimillion-dollar ships by small, cheap ships — but the January Houthi attack demonstrated the threat was even more acute.
