Vapour Trails

In this instance the Vapour Trails name is that chosen by Brian Keates for his models and as such, is not to be confused with the earlier output of plastic 1/200th aeroplanes from Corgi Toys under the same brand name. Brian's list of models grew rapidly in the mid-1990s and their fine quality made them sought-after items. Later, Brian acquired Tommy Atkins' inventory of masters and moulds, comprising those models that Tommy had created speculatively and for his own satisfaction, which added yet more types to his already extensive product list. In a further move Brian elected to supply Collectors Aircraft Models, on their customary exclusive basis, and direct sales of Vapour Trails models correspondingly ceased. CAM re-branded the range as Skyfame models. Today, in 2008, CAM lists Brian's F-4 Phantom and this model is something of a tour de forces, in that Brian offers the model in the markings of every single RAF squadron that operated the type.
