    Pilot….

    I heard a rumour that you’re the World’s youngest Sea Fury pilot……
    You’re a very naughty boy…
    Well done.
    Andy 😉 😉

    Hi all
    I don’t care who owns the copyright.
    It’s a great picture and thanks for posting it.
    I do know 100 Sqn. were part of the Independant Force, the World’s first true strategic bomber force and they were engaged in night bombing work on the western front right up until the armistice.
    The old ‘FEEB’ was horribly obsolete by then but served out it’s days as a night bomber.
    It was probably painted all black on the upper surfaces with the roundels blacked out too.
    There are well known publised pictures of aircraft from this squadron around.
    Does it say anywhere what the serial number was?
    Cheers

    You kept that one quiet.

    For Mike J….

    Stieglitz
    I’m willing to post the picture of myself and the Spitfire Mk.XI again but before I do there is one among us that is in possesion of a wonderful photograph of himself and his brother wearing some very fine examples of bespoke tailoring at Old Warden.
    C’mon Mike where’s that picture your Mum gave you on Thursday??
    Cheers

    If you’ve not been to Oshkosh, and you like flying… Go. You’ve got to.

    James,
    You’re starting to sound like Patty now!!
    Maybe next year.
    Myself and Mrs AIB are actually off to the ‘New World’ at the end of September.
    A week on the east coast then moving into the dark hinterland later–Kansas City way.
    Cheers

    I’d have thought that style would have gone to great shoe shop in the sky long before you were forced to go through the indignity of wearing them–being that much younger than me.
    Yours, with some sympathy

    First Visit…

    My Spitfire and I.

    Robbo, Anna,MOTF, Melv, Patty, Strike Eagle, Dano, Et Al– you may now laugh.

    Great day though, can’t remember too much but the Gladiator flew. No Spitfire, Hurricane or Hind back then.
    Cheers
