Following a promise made to the local air cadets, I have been asked to give a small talk on RAF Hunsdon and its nightfighter and intruder role
Can the forum members assist me with suitable images of aircraft types that I can illustrate this talk with?
I have unfortunately found out that the images I have do not scale up well though the laptop projector and are really small. I need images of a size & resolution that would project well of the following:
Boulton-Paul Defiant in night scheme
Bristol Blenheim with AI in night scheme.
Bristol Beaufighter (604 Squadron markings preferably)
Douglas Havoc in 85 Squadron markings.
Douglas Havoc in Turbinlite configuration.
Hawker Hurricane II series in night intruder scheme.
Mosquito N.F.II
Mosquito F.B.VI
Mosquito NF XII with centimetric AI radar.
Cockpit view of Mosquito nightfighter showing installation of the AI equipment.
Chain Home system and GCI array images.
Cathode tube, and illustrations of the ‘christmas tree’ display as seen by the AI operator
Similar sized images of the common German nightfighters also wanted including
Me110 G
JU88 G6 showing ‘Schrage Musik’ installation
He-219A Uhu
Do-217J
Any relevant images that you think are worth including!
As with any request like this, none of the images will be used in any way other than to illustrate a small ‘one off’ talk. They will not be used outside of this context.
I hope the forum can help, please PM me for an email address as to where to send images to me.
Thanks in anticipation!

The Blenheim carries early AI aerials on the port wing so very likely..thanks!

A few I found while idly thumbing my way around Google Images…

Thats the thing, i have no idea of what resolution would come out best on the ATC projector, I was hoping there might have been a common size that would display well. I have never used one of these projectors myself, so I’m at a loss to give anyone a better answer!

Bristol Beaufighter (604 Squadron markings preferably)
Is this one?

What size and resolution is that?
As a quick example http://images.forwallpaper.com/files/images/b/b25f/b25ff472/170365/boulton-paul-defiant.jpg is 1679×1200 and was easily found by using Google Images and refining the search by size…
