Some old photographs.

Yes Mark 12, You are nearly right. It is a mark 24 of 80 squadron at Lubeck, probably August 1948, the aircraft is VN307, coded W2 T on air to ground firing practice, note the ammo boxes in the foreground. A Polish pilot, P2 Ossendorf was too enthusiastic and got a canon shell ricochet into his starboard radiator, grounding the aircraft for a few days, I was the engine mech on this aircraft from June 47 untli Jan 50. I was told by a squadron member much later that this Spitfire holds the record for hours flown, I have never gotten round to checking it out with R A F records though. regards.

Use the Manage Attachments facility, which has been explained many times by myself and others. If you can’t figure it out, please use the Search facility to find references to “Manage attachments”.

That Corsair needs to be freed up from the TAM museum and flown again….that’s just wrong…

Nice Spitfire Mk 22/24 shot.

Looks like they could be 80 Squadron in Wunstorf or Hong Kong.

Grounded. Can you please oblige with any serial numbers or a codes for the Spitfires in that shot?

Hi
Excuse me but I have some 1950s and 1960/70s pics but HOW do I submit them for viewing??? :confused: :confused:

Great pics anyway, thanks for posting. I really like the one of the Kittyhawk.

Sorry fellows, I must have gotten these out of the wrong folder as they have not been tidied up.
