Blimey. I remember her in Pink at The Fighter Meets North Weald but not sure if I have any photos and if I have I was pants at taking them so quality would be lacking but will have a flick though the old albums.

If the RAF museum have the Aircraft Record Card it will give the engine number fitted from new and if a swap that would be recorded also.

Tomato Eins an alle
During the attack from Norway by Heinkels of Luftflotte 5 (at around 1 min), the Lieutenant flying the lead plane says over the radio “Tomato Eins an Alle, Tomato Eins an Alle, noch zehn minuten bis Ziel”. … The correct translation is “Tomato One to all, Tomato One to all, still 10 minutes until target”.

Good post nothing, If this forum was to be put back as some would like it will not bring back the dead, Key know this so leave it as is and see where it goes as we all had to get used to previous incarnation and the slow loss of forumites that always departed with each update, obviously this update that is way into its second year did cause the most destruction of all but honestly who did it hurt the most, key ? I fear not, us the forum member, yes we lost the most of all, a FREE substrate paid by another.
The sad loss of those knowledgeable people here has had a big impact as its taken away those threads that gave us all so much content just look at The Duxford Diary, daily updates, Spitfires in Burma, the Geophys experts gone some because of the nastiness of others that frequented this forum and nearly all of those were ‘flouncers’ demanding this and that along with post counts and having user names that state they have been here two million years with two million posts FFS get over yourselves just start a new member name so what you posted two million times I am grateful and others were grateful too for you’re contributions but the badge with the stars on is a nothingness to me.
Its been a bumpy old ride for sure and I say thank you to all that still frequent just looking and those posting, It is what it is go with the flow or go with no show.
