Tiger Force Lancasters and Halifax fuselage scrapped on site. Mosquitos burnt – at least one on Nov 5th I think.
Going back some, there are a couple of 2 Signals School Proctors extant, along with the Dominie that flies from Duxford.
Cheers for the An-22 link CAF-UK: brings back many happy memories.:eagerness:
“Churchill was a failure until Hitler made him a great leader. “
