A couple of missed photographs from my previous TSAF blogpost https://manoftinblog.wordpress.com/2018/07/06/tsaf-toy-soldier-air-force/

Two fabulous vintage Johillco (1939 era) Running Pilot hollowcast figures, one in Khaki, the other in civilian white pilot or technicians overalls run to “Poppet” their waiting Hybrid Corsair / Hellcat / Buffalo.
