Yep, absolutely a good idea. I won't be the one doing this on short notice though, but my pics are available for it should anyone set this up!
Some more 50mm & converter stuff...
23jul81 brought a Wildenrath Phantom and Bierset Mirage 5. Brake chutes are go.

When leaving, the FGR2 showed those Spey engines may not smoke like they should, but they do flame.
Jumping to 31aug81 again we got a nice 314TAW desert C-130E.
Pair of Eagles returning from a Scramble on 01sep81.

Sidewinders and Sparrows on 79-0029/CR. With both fighters carrying eight AA missiles and a gun they had enough ordnance to bring down a whole squadron of adversaries.
Edit:
