    A memorial thread…

    Maybe a thread for Brian previewing his life and times,stories,jokes he shared,anything to remember why he loved these old planes we adore so much.

    Good question…

    We are in the same boat.Depending on it,s construction,etched,embossed,stamped..
    Embossing I,ve heard strip the paint,repaint black then “carefully” take the black off the raised parts with fine wet and dry or with thinners on a cotton swab.Also would work with stamped..Ohhh and about half a bottle of scotch to relax the nerves while you do it…;)

    One place comes to mind..

    Fortress Rabual was renown for it,s high AAA content.Most bombers on low level flight had the nose and tail gunners trained on taking out targets of chance on the ground.IIRC Guy Gibson did that same thing,supressing the AAA while another Lanc went in for the attack.

    BFP panel…

    There are two types of BFP panels on British aircraft,the round topped ones and the rectangular ones.Pretty much universal and I think some Spits had the round topped ones.I reckon they look better anyway.Plus there were a few different contractors who constructed them so thats why you see differences in the panels construction.:D
