- 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.

modelling really is a life-long hobby
Didn’t think so see you here! Your not wrong
@@12am_scale_modeling 😊
Agreed
Agreed
I consider myself a modeller and i feel very small watching this interview... Amazing!!
what a gem of a man.
I am 57 still building models. It keeps me young and look much younger !
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!
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.
@@MrSmid888I suspect he likes grabbing them and dusting them by hand
He must enjoy it
This is going to be me in 60 years, a boy can dream
That is an amazing collection. One to be very proud of.
What an absolutely brilliant collection of one's life and hobby.
Hopefully a museum would take them.
You know I typed in “airfix collection” just hoping I’d see someone with a big collection , and this short video was absolutely PERFECT.
Bravo sir.
me too.
when your past 50 ...eh.
Truly a hobby that endures through the ages!
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)
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.
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
wish i had a big garage id take them on well done sir lovely collection and great building skills :)
Great collection you need to put them behind a sealed glass door, less dusting and cleaning
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
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).
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
@@checkpointcharlie1788But those kits are garbage by today's standards. No adult modeler would even waste his time building those today. Spend $30 and get yourself something worth putting in the time and expense to build.
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.
I was absolutely envious of this man's collection until I realized what a freaking pain all that dusting must be...
Man I gotta buy some display cases.
Wow now that is amazing
Find the right man to carry on his fleet!
Wow...im appriciate your hobby and collection. ❤❤
Very impressive, starting with the Gladiator he was showing; like the Messerschmitt Me-410 as well as all the others.
Respect to this man
I would vist that collection
Isso é muito legal👏
You started when I was born , and I am 8 years later Greetings Edward
Very fine! If you want to do some reverse lend-lease I will get another curio cabinet for them!
I'd love to own a collection like his..!!
I have taken this challege on, I will comment when its done
Very talented builder!
Desde Santo Domingo República Dominicana felicidades...
Well done!!!
So basically he has built my stash. In God's own scale of course.
think i found my new grandad
So cool!!!
Brilliant
Imagine the person who inherits this!?!?
If you start this bobby, it becomes part of your life
i bet he hasn't got a Boulton Sidestrand in his collection
My house looks the same!
Medo dele derrubar o Gloster Sea Gladiator no chão! 😨😨😆😆👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Do you make the vacuum models yourself from scratch?
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
Which plane can survive highest wind speed in hurricane
I'm trying to limit mine to about 150 once built.
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. .
I failed and now have a potential 173.
Модели надо от пыли протирать кисточкой...и нетрогать руками без перчаток...человеческий пот довольно агресивен.🤔
Salut my friend super aero super video subscribe subscribe ...
