    Just about everything you mentioned is in “The Hawker Hurricane” by Francis K Mason ISBN 0 946627 58 4.

    Thank you for the swift replies; I am translating a document from the Swedish, and it seems that I must correct the original author, as it would apparently not even be true to qualify this statement by adding “during WW2”.

    No, James, I have asked publicly on threads for this info to be added to the FAQs, more than once! Do you mean the Webbie doesn’t read every single posting? The light is beginning to dawn on me now, thanks!

    Well done, Jochen, I don’t know how you find the time!

    Lived at RAF Waddington in the 1950s during my formative years (my father was a Flight Sergeant in 61 Sqn) and then joined the RAF myself.

    Make sure they are under 100 kb each and preferably 800 pixels wide. Posting pictures and resizing them have been explained many times on here. I have asked time and time again for this info to be placed in the FAQs . . .

    Good prize suggestion, Rob, not everyone on this Forum lives in the UK, something that I sometimes feel is forgotten. Not that I would have any chance in a competition, but let’s not forget you Yanks and the Kiwis, for example.

    Welcome Denise, you can see that some of us on this side of the pond keep strange hours! (Insomnia!)
    You may find our sense of humour weird at times too, but don’t let that put you off, please.
    PS I love your country, which is where I have taken some of my best aviation photographs.

    I fail to see what Sweden has to do with Thailand buying Russian weapons anyway! Well done Göran Perssson for keeping us (Swedish taxpayers and eventual chicken consumers) out of what seems to be a very strange deal!

    Thanks, turbo_NZ. I must confess I hadn’t noticed the tailwheel; I have now checked the other pictures in the same sequence and it was down all the time – no idea why, though.

    British Columbia Aviation Museum, Sidney

    THis is a very nice 3/4 model, I haven’t researched it yet, though (still ploughing though the captions for the earlier part of my trip)

    June 1952 mistake corrected!
    There are plans for the recovered DC-3 to be put on display in the RSwAF Museum eventually, perhaps a year or so from now.

    I wonder what the hourly rate is for plane spotting? I need a job, and it sounds like it might be a good line of business!

    Sorry, Manairportmad, but I just couldn’t resist it!
