    I love the Honest John mate, it rocks. I have been after one myself for my ROK ORBAT.

    Nice score.

    I wondered what all those video links were leading up to! Is this a ROCO model?

    I had the Dinky HJ when I was a kid. The missile fired - but only a couple of feet! Somewhere I have the Heroics & Ros 1/300 version.

    Looking at the video Tim I realized I had the wrecker and suitable deuce and a half to do
    the featured reload operation ...thinking about doing that.

    Dear Don,

    Range of missile - approx 15.4 miles.
    Range of missile still clamped to the launcher - approx 800 yards, but much more impressive as it cartwheels down the range :O)

    Regards, Chris
