Cessna 185 and Piaggio P.180 Avanti shot with my Canon S50.

Thanks Turbo!
Rob, also that bird is super light with no armour, weapons and bulky radios, so it sits higher than it would have during the war.
Focke-Wulf Piaggio FwP.149D.
She’s a swell bird!
I don’t think I ever saw one picture of a Fw 190 taking off with the canopy open. Sometimes you can’t open the canopy in flight due to various reasons.
TNZ, if he needs to bale out, he reaches for the canopy jettison and its gone.
My Focke-Wulf (C-FWOL, a FwP.149D) had a rather large handle on the top of the canopy to do just that!
Hi Steve.
Don’t forget that NH188 came to the musuem as an airworthy aircraft and is kept as she is because she was given in that state. It’s an honour to the chap who donated her.
And I don’t care, a Spit is a Spit.
The worse I’ve seen is the one in the NASM in Washington. Yuck!
Excellent!!
MOTF, that’s what you get with short stacks on any engine. And it’s flying slowly, so you don’t hear the swooshing sound you will hear when it’ll be hauling around the pattern.
A T-28 makes a really funky noise with its short stacks, yet it has 1 425HP!
Engine is a Ash-82 of 1 900HP.
Have you seen Rudy Frasca’s Wildcat in her new scheme? She looks gorgeous in the dark blue colour!
It was of 403 Sqn.?
Aluminium structure fitted with a strobe?
What a question.
All of them!

NH188 is in the museum!
Grass?
My two Spits shown here (I have a Mk. V and a Mk.II in the collection) are two ICM 1/48 kits.
Got 16 ICM kits in the stash!
Gotta love those Spits!
Ugly BuchΓ³n?
How about this one?
