I tell you what Oscar Duck, that album cover would make for very interesting artwork on the nose of the B-26!

Art imitating life?? Self portrait of pilot on nose of aircraft!

As previously stated, would love to see the Mk.XIV in the air. How far off flyable condition is it?

Had an exchange of correspondence earlier this year with Tony Gaze regarding his little known time with 268 Squadron in mid-1943. For his sins of performing a very low pass and low level handling performance over his home airfield, and getting caught by his CO, he was shuffled off to teach some of the Army Co-operation Command Mustang Squadrons all about the latest fighter tactics. So he had fun for a few weeks flying a Typhoon (to simulate a FW-190) and the Squadron’s Mustangs in sessions of ‘fighter tactics’ and ‘bouncing’. Still fondly remembered by those who survive as some great practice dog fighting sessions, and Tony’s fun time in the Mess.

All the best,
