    Don’t think that it is out yet over here,as you say they are all repeats at the moment.

    Nice shot of the two-seater FW190.Is that the one that was at St Athans 20 years ago? .If it is, they used to run it at certain times,which was fantastic and I was lucky enough to see it on one of those days,very impressive.

    At Shobdon,in an Auster tugmaster which was for sale at the time(£700.00 I seem to remember),it was 1968 and I was 13 at the time.Brother was learning to fly there at the time and we had gone along this day to have a look and that is how it came about.Dave Miles was the pilot who took me and we did a circuit,I thought it was wonderful.

    If it means more restorations,great,but somehow I doubt it.Not a great fan of CGI and the original film will be a hard one to follow,but we’ll have to wait and see.I wish them good luck with it.

    I hope you arent calling brits backward my dear boy 😉 Racial slurs and all that :diablo:

    That siad we drive on the correct side of the road, as do the japanese 😉

    It is my understanding that America used to drive on the left of the road in some States,if not all in the early days of motoring.

    Gunston’s Encyclopaedia,1986,P.137 has: “Half a dozen development V-1650s were made by Continental”. Curiouser and curiouser.

    Thanks alertken and Merlinpete for your replies,I remember reading an article back a bit ago by Graham White in EAA Warbirds mag where he said that Continental had built Merlins but not how many.
