North Essex Modellers
NORTH ESSEX MODELLERS NEWSMarch 2021 Intro Apologies for the rather late issue of this newsletter, which –barring any late mishaps- should just about get out to you in time to avoid me having to re-label it as the April edition! Part of the reason for the delay has been my internet router giving up the ghost last week, which served to highlight (especially in the current pandemic) just how much the internet has become an essential feature of modern life. Anyway, enough of my excuses! Thank you to all of this month’s contributors, and do read on…. Show Biz No, don’t laugh, I’m, serious! Assuming the UK’s anti-Covid measures continue successfully and the progressive lifting of lockdown runs to schedule, we may anticipate a resumption of model shows during the summer. With that in mind, we aim to secure tables at the Billericay show on July 25. Don’t count your chickens just yet though! New Airfix Bristol Beaufort – reviewed by Mike Well folks, I am lucky enough to have obtained the long awaited Airfix Beaufort courtesy of Jadlam Racing. It's an early Mk1 torpedo bomber from 1939/40. The aircraft is one that was widely used based in the UK, Egypt and Malta. It was also built in large numbers by the Australians. It has been poorly represented by kit manufacturers. It was designed to be produced as either a torpedo strike aircraft or light (medium in 1939) bomber. It was produced in 2 main variants: the Mk I powered by the under-developed Bristol Taurus and the MK II powered by the much more reliable Pratt and Whitney Twin Wasp.

United Kingdom: Extremism & Counter-Extremism
United Kingdom: Extremism & Counter-Extremism On November 3, 2020, the U.K. raised its terror threat level to “severe”—the second-highest level—following recent deadly attacks in Austria and France. Raising the threat level to severe indicates that the U.K. considers the possibility of a terror attack to be highly likely. The announcement follows the November 2 attack in Austria in which an ISIS sympathizer opened fire on a busy nightlife district in Vienna, which ultimately killed four. The attack occurred a day before Austria’s countrywide lockdown in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The U.K. increased their threat level ahead of their own lockdown on November 5. (Sources: Associated Press [1], Guardian [2]) A public inquiry was launched on September 6, 2020 to investigate the motivation behind the March 2017 Manchester Arena suicide bombing. The inquiry, which was established on October 22, 2019, by U.K. Home Secretary Priti Patel, is being held at Manchester Magistrates’ Court and is expected to last until spring 2021. Chaired by Sir John Saunders, the inquiry explores the circumstances leading up to and surrounding the attack. Accordingly, the investigation examines whether the attack could have been prevented, details of the security arrangements of the arena, emergency responses, and the radicalization of assailant Salman Abedi and his brother Hashem. The inquiry comes after Hashem Abedi was found “jointly responsible” for the attack and sentenced to 55 years in prison for the murder of 22 people and conspiracy to cause an explosion. On September 29, Patrick Gibbs QC, who represents the British Transport Police, claimed that the Abedi brothers “did not act alone” and others who provided technical and financial help, as well as training and support to the brothers are still “at large.” In October 2020, Hashem Abedi admitted to the inquiry legal team that he and his brother carried out the attack on behalf of ISIS.
