Thanks James!

Yes, the head-on shot was taken from the Lincoln rear turret. Lovely photo it is! I wonder if any colour photos of the CA-15 exist…

My wife will probably kill me if I buy another book, but I’ll look it up 😀
My main references for the CA-15 now are some drawings, photos and data from the internet and Wings of Fame #4.

If the Flightpath magazine is the same as the one that contains my Lee Bottom fly-in report, I should hopefully be getting a copy of it already 🙂

Hi James, I don’t have that book unfortunately. I’d love to hear what you can find out about this flight.

To me the Kangaroo looks like a beefed-up P-51, not necessarily ugly. I really like some of its features, like the recessed exhausts, V-shaped tail, tuna-shaped fuselage and I kinda like the “tiny” canopy too. It’s a beast of a plane surely, and indeed one of the last original prop fighters (Yugoslavia made a Yak-lookalike in the late forties and this must’ve been a later design than the CA-15).

Funny enough, for several years now I have had 3D models of both P-51D and CA-15 and I never loaded them up side-by-side for comparison. I just did. Indeed in the sideview the CA-15 is a good bit larger, but the wingspan is very comparable. Have a look:

Thanks for the tip.
If the image quality is crisp and grain free (at 100 ISO), then I can live with 7 MP. Most compacts needs to have their output scaled down a little to make decent images.
I do like the video performance of this camera.

Thanks very much guys!

TT, please check you a PMs 🙂
