you seem to know your spitfires

You may come in HANDY on day

Who the freak rattled your overly large cage:diablo:

How’s tricks SB?

Firts day back at work for me today, and guess what???????? The jet is delayed…………….. Someone make me a noose! Oh to be employed in a proper job!!!

Well done to all those involved at BBMF for a good, sympathetic restoration.

It’s so good to see that there are still people around who will delicately take something apart and refurbish it to its former condition, or as near as possible. BBMF operate on a limited budget and do VERY well with what they’ve got.

Perhaps the other firms who take a good aircraft and have all the skins replaced etc should sit up and take note. Tom Blairs Desert marked Spit 5 has panel gaps that Rolls Royce cars would be proud of, but it seems a little souless to me. I’m sure the same fate awaits the Dutch Mk9 at Duxford too. I’ve been up close to that aeroplane and every ding and dent tell a story…….whenever the damage occurred. No ref to Rachels additional strake on AB910:D 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

Again, well done and I hope to see it soon…….would have been better in silver though! Oh and can we see a close up of the aerial mounting in the camoflage please???????:)

Fluffy, you have a pm.

Go see the thread on another Forum!

Awesome!

Will you lot get a life?

No one complained about Black 6’s lack of originality, as it had plenty of original BRITISH metal thrown in, but was still “90%” original.

We all know the FLUG WERKE 190 is manufactured from the factory drawings, but it still an awesome undertaking. I envy Roohbarbs position, I’d love to see it in the metal.

I just hope the CAA can be persuaded to have a sensible approach to its presence in the UK.

Have we really turned into a nation of moaners? And I thought the raf was bad……………….

“…….I want that one…..”

For the data plate store ?

You’re up late Moocher, is that plane giving you nightmares??:)

[And the two crew members for the Tigercat are E Presley and L Lucan and they have just taken off from the deck of the Titanic as it never sank it was all a massive publicity stunt

Still beats me how the Yanks still managed to hit the same iceberg, lets face it they knew the damm thing was there. But there that’s American movies for you.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for reminding me Boghopper, I’ll get me oil thimble out! I assume the 18 and the CR42 passed their respective air tests?

I was chatting with Mr Presley before he left for the USA, and he told me that him flying the “big cat” home was the start of his comeback tour. He dined out on the Titanic and then told me that me there were a few innaccuracies with the film “Pearl Harbour”, notably that the pilots flying in those Eagle Squadrons were part of the RAF, er, the Rotund American Fella’s.

Is there any truth in the STRONG RUMOUR that the P-40 be at legends in its ORIGINAL primer?……………….:D 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 :diablo:

Nigger, Nigger, Nigger.

There, I’ve said it! It’s the name of Guy Gibsons dead dog. I’ve been stationed at Scampton and been over to the grave many times. I’m fed up of this arguement raging about this subject.

If anyone were to use the word negatively about at any of our darker skinned cousins, then that’s their choice.

Historically accurate YES, PC who gives a dam(n), will anyone be offended about it being in the new film? Who cares?!!!!!
