Hi All,

Thanks for the info JBoyle…?

Ex IAF HM557 according to Tempest survivors web page (Link below)

MW404 was built in 1945 and served with No. 247 Squadron in Chilbolton in Hampshire, England. After it had been in service for two years the plane was bought back by the manufacturer, refurbished and sold to the Indian Air Force (IAF), entering active duty in 1948. After the type was retired from front line service in 1954, MW404 was assigned decoy duties at Poona Air Force Base, along with at least a dozen other Tempest IIs. In 1979 MV404 was bought by Doug Arnold, who had it shipped to the UK.

Chris Miller, Texas, USA, bought MW404 in 2012. Chris intends to restore the Tempest to an airworthy state. A rebuilt Curtiss-Wright R-3350 radial engine and propeller from a Douglas Skyraider has been acquired, less expensive to purchase and maintain than the original Bristol Centaurus engine and Rotol propeller.

Lots more pictures here and some more history of the aircraft:- http://www.hawkertempest.se/index.php/survivors/2015-01-19-19-22-20/mw4043

Hi All,

Prop Strike. Exactly what I thought, one thing I did notice was the story behind Simons creation and the final image appear not match ?

” . I pulled the Sunderland hard to clear the boat’s tower as we released depth charges. They straddled the sub and exploded right under her aft section and broke her back. I only just cleared the tower.”  :- A quote from Flt Lt. Dudley Marrows. RAAF. Pilot of Sunderland U-Uncle. 461 Sqn. Royal Australian Air Force.

The image has depth charges exploding/entering the water on the port side this does not match what the pilot described ? The only thing I can think of this must be a general portrayal of the attack on the UBoat ?

I think a scene with the aft of the UBoat being lifted out of the water/Back breaking after the straddling would have fitted better dramatically wise portrayed, simply because there are so many about that portray the same scene or very similar.

I also imagine it’s getting harder to create and paint an image that will stand out from the other artistic impressions of whatever scene in this now very overcrowded market ? Along with the people who commission them being pickier, that said I am not an artist so can only state an opinion/assumption.

Geoff.

No still cannot do it, either I am not understanding or something else, the only thing I can come up with is I am on a PC using Windows 7 God knows why the powers that be seem to think a fix is needed when things like the smiles were ok as they were now we have x amount of rubbish instead.

On top of that disabling the video embedding app, does this forum now not have moderators or a complaints department ?

Hi All,

Watched the B&W classic Stanley Kubrick’s Dr Strangelove 1964 (Via BBCi) Peter Sellers in one of his most iconic of film roles, starring alongside some other notable stars of the era and an early appearance by the voice of Darth Vader JEJ. The film still has its relevant thought provoking and comic moments all these years after it was made….?

Starring:- Peter Sellers,George C. Scott,Sterling Hayden,Keenan Wynn,Slim Pickens,Peter Bull,James Earl Jones,Tracy Reed and hane Rimmer.

An American Brigadier puts the world on the verge of a nuclear catastrophe, when he deploys a B-52 bomber on the Russians, without informing his superiors.

Hi Trumper,

Yes they used to have a web site if I am not wrong I could spend all day looking at the images. It’s a shame that Roy Cross never got the recognition he deserves as his work is really good.  His B-29 has always stuck with me along with the Whirlwind fighter, Sunderland and B-17 classic images to name just a few IMO.

I forgot to announce that another great artist has just passed away after a long illness the great Roy Grinnel passed away last month, you can see his works on this dedicated FB page :-https://www.facebook.com/roygrinnell.aviationart/, so sad to hear this as I contacted him a year or two ago about him adding a Remarque to the image below which has 23 signatures on it to which he agreed I now rue that I never did this when he agreed but hey that’s life.

RIP Mr Grinnel.
