The Telegraph article quotes a researcher in the USA as saying the bomb jettision area was not in the location given due to conflict with sea transport and undersea pipelines. I think he does not realise that the bombs dropped were not usually armed.Also he cast doubts on the research of Roy Conyers Nesbitt who wrote the article in Aeroplane Monthly and backed it up with chart extracts showing the area concerned. Roy is not one to make such errors in my view.

The detail about construction is as usual fascinating and underlines the skills involved in the rebuilds.

Perhaps not for exec use, think of target use in the style of the Falcons of Fr Aviation. Behind the advert is an invitation to make offers below the price.

Surely the keyword is temporary ? And how can it be ruined if the method of decorating the aircraft/car/bus is only spotted as vinyl by an expert like yourself Rob?

Life in South Korea goes on as normal..which has been living in the reality of a war held in check by a cease fire. The allies have ensured that the cost of a full scale war is beyond any gains that the North could make.

Painted Yellow overall helped, i know for certain this scheme was applied to the nightfighter Ju88 which was brought to Dyce by a defecting crew. I found the Yellow scheme when helping to paint strip the 88 at St Athan.

Correct…captured aircraft as mentioned in this article,on the detailed history of the flight
