Spitfire alias

..and now RW393/’TB675′ of the RAFMus.

They are all captured and logged as aliases.

I am more concerned about the principle of the thing and bandwidth restrictions.

You can unwad your panties now, I deleted the thread I’d linked your pic to.

Ooops, so it is! 😮

See what I mean about confusing the issue by painting the wrong bloody serial on the side! 😡

The Hurricane appears not to have a serial on its side (wasn’t sure at first), but it is usually referred to as “BE417” in the literature.

Just as TFC’s XIV is still MV268, whatever serial is painted on the side.

Thought it was MV293?

Just one glitch – TD248 is a Mk XVI

Apologies. Typo, XVI intended.

Nick.

Your name is in the corner of the pic. I undertand that copyright means that aritcles/items cannot be used unless the copyright holder is identified. Where fees are not being charged/sought identification is adequate. Unless of course the terms of the copyright when originally published were stated on the proof.

[ Personal apologies…… Professional hat on]. I can elaborate but it is awfully tedious to the average viewer.

It would have been polite to ask if you could link my photograph first mate. 😉

Ah – that explains why your name was appearing in the link! I began to think you had changed your ID!

Definitely the P-40. The white stripe around the rear fuselage is a dead giveaway!

Crafty edit. Moi?

I will go with the P40 as the H75 was playing the role of joker and therefore not in the Balbo.

I thought it was the P40, because of what looks like a prominent radiator. (Hmm, radiator. I wonder how long it’ll be before we get a comment from Snapper about me and radiators… 😉 )

Anyway, all joking aside, I’ll hazard a guess at the identities of the aeroplanes you can see in that shot. From left to right:

Distant three
Spitfire MkV, EP120
Spitfire Mk?, SM845
Spitfire MkXIX?, PS890 (the contraprop one)

Near three
Hurricane MkIV, KZ321
Hawk 75
Hurricane (the RAC one from Breighton)

Distant four
Spitfire MkIX, MT928
Spitfire unknown (4 blade)
Spitfire unknown (5 blade)
Spitfire MkIX, MH434

Still a few blanks in there to fill in, but I’m sure there’ll be someone along in a minute who knows what they’re talking about… 🙂

That man is already here 🙂 see above (albeit with a crafty edit…)
