In this age of tiny electronic devices which process lots of eelectrons in rapid time I am grateful that your restoration reminds me and others and future generations of how it used to be. Much of the publicity of those times from the makers and RAF placed a lot of emphasis on how clever and wonderful the kit was plus the machines which they were flown in. With the passage of time and removal of secrecy we can see how much was bluff and bluster. The skills of the operators was an aspect which seemed to have been underplayed.

Have we covered all the options? I see a pattern developing with posts here, warming to the theme now.

Good link Consul, the pages of Mr Halls collections are well done. I doubt it was found in a field, this is second only to the buried fuselages story which emerges like a ground hog every year. Even been told that the Grace Spitfire was found in a field.

The clarity of film from the Bof B in that u tube docu is surprisingly good. In relation to its content i have just read Gun Button to fire by Tom Neil..revised edition. He flew Hurricanes in the battle and laments the poor co ordination of the control. Many times he flew with several formations of his squadron and failed to be guided to any enemy aircraft. Has the portrayal of radar as an important plus factor in the battle been exagerrated? Or were flights of fighters sent to patrol set lines just in the hope that they would be in the right place to intercept when an attack came over the channel? Perhaps the powers that be had little confidence in the radar and fell back on reliance of the idea of a standing patrol.?

In the wide world of commercial adertising there is nothing unusual about the style , standard and aim of the poster. Time is a factor in all ideas being converted to a finished advert, and even the date mistake is not un common. Certainly the aircrew have a sense of humour, you should have seen how crews turned out at events such as charity raft races over the years. Just let it go, theres bigger issues that need sorting.

A lot of hours were flown when it became part of the Kemps Aerial survey fleet, alongside many Ansons.
