Mk.IIb onwards I should say, I’ve never seen anything to the contrary, the IIb as far as I’m aware had the same system for firing the 4, 303’s seperate or the 2, 20mm cannons seperate or all the guns together.
Well done Paul a very well deserved award, I have always found you very at ease with the public, answering their and my questions with great knowledge and enthusiasm.Your service to the BBMF has made this collection stronger as your restoration of Spit TE311 shows, your break into the world of warbird journalism with the Haynes books shows what a great asset you are to the UK. warbird movement.
Once again congratulations Fluffy.:D
I’ve seen a photo of this Hurri in Keys Hurricane salute bookazine, has anyone got any more photos of it or illustrations of it in plan form? The photo in the book dosn’t show the shape of the wing.:confused:
Beggers belief dosn’t it? If I were him I’d get some more conversion training, if a Harvard is a bit much he could try a Yak C.11. BBMF fighter pilots don’t touch their Spits all winter just having tail wheel training on the venerable Chippy and flying Typhoons as the day job. They also operate from hard runways which is always more difficult than the grass runway he seems to use at Ardmore.:(:mad::confused::eek:
Good photos of a cracking day, it’s well on the calender for next year, I love the shot of the Polish Paras they parked behind us in the car park.
What is the polished plane in the USAAF scheme?
Glad to be of service, when you have finished your modeling project can we have some pix of them?
What scale are you doing? If it’s 1/72 those new Airfix P.R.XIX’s are just the job, the Fujimi ones aren’t bad either if you can find one or two, Evil Bay may be worth a trawl.
