Who did the Spitfire pits for the Dr Who episode Danny Boy?Also wasn’t there one done for Dark Blue World as well?
Just for interests sake what happened to all the jigs and tooling for the Spits?
Wasn’t that what the mustang was intended for by the Brits?
Cheers mate,hahahaha yeah they keep calling me an expert for some reason… All I do is hit things!!!!
There are plenty of reasons why the subject of a successful ejection may not survive; several Argentine aircrew successfully ejected during the Falklands Conflict but were not recovered alive from the sea.
Hyperthermia or other reasons?
There will be a cross over between British and American material in regards to stringers hardware etc…Still in awe of the work…
Looks like something from Tatooine 🙂
Your main source will be the A.I.1(k) department reports in AIR40 that Ross refers to.
They are a mixed bag, but some are surprisingly detailed. For example, 398/1941 which deals with the interrogation of Hptm Rolf Pingel. Nine close-typed pages in which he sings like the proverbial canary; tactics, personnel, operational specs of the Me 109 F-2, camouflage, markings and interrogation of British POWs. However, one needs to read the reports carefully because it is clear that some of the content is material deduced or discovered from other sources and not always, in my view, information gleaned from the prisoner in question.
Andy probably why so detailed because of its the first F model bought down reasonably intact in the Uk…
They don’t appear to firing fast enough for Browning M2AC guns, but then again, blanks may not give the same cyclic rate anyway. They would however need a blank fire device on the end of the barrel shroud as there isn’t a booster fitted to the M2AC.
The guns had to be modified to fire blanks..They were selling the fired spent cartridges for $20 a pop…
