Great photos there – the last two – possibly a Tempest V doing the chasing and tipping? Not much detail left in the photos from those angles!

That one is on Wikipedia – identified as a Spitfire!

As we are still in defeating flying bomb territory, a Typhoon equipped with rockets for ground attack:

Ooops, quoted ‘number of posts’ instead of ‘post number’.

Quite understandable, the young lady was quite distracting.;)

As I check this page every day, why is it that I stop and review post #42…2 jugs and a 109. Do I really like planes of German origin? 😉
