I’d like to see the Me262 and 109’s, FW-190, The Dutch Connie, Glacier Girl, The mark 1 Spitfire, and the Red Bull P-38, if you care, Mr Grey!!!
It would be a lot cheaper than making a whole new film, CD!!- and i’m Looking forward to seeing the new one myself!- Peter Jackson seems to know what he’s doing
What about the awesome SR-71?- IMHO the best looking thing of any kind ever designed!!
Don’t forget, they could add colour, too!!
No, then!!
Hope they go ahead and paint it back to yellow- it’ll bring back nice memories!- it was the first Spitfire i ever saw!!- at Knebworth in about 1978!
Dragonfly would translate better too!! – nothing to do with me!!- (i know what you’re thinking!)- very best of luck to you!!
I was wondering what happened to that aircraft!!- thanks Dragonfly! – and BTW, Dragonfly sounds like a better name for it!
I was reading a while ago that the Mosquito was almost invisible to German ground Radar until quite late in 1944 and could only be picked up at quite close ranges within about 10 miles i think was the figure quoted.
But you could paint the F117 pink it would not make it any less stealthy then if it was painted black.

– I thought they used a special RADAR absorbent paint these days?
Thanks for that, XM- and i’m glad its not THAT secret, TT!
Here is the link to the photo from China Lake,

Most of these aircraft are still out their.
Oh and if anyone tells you that there are no more B-29s left at China Lake then they are speaking with a fork tounge’s. There are at least two still there one is in a Hot section which the folks at NAS China Lake will not confirm and the other is still sitting not to far from where Docs was located albit its in many parts but its still their. Also how many folks know that there are at least two PB4Y sitting out on the ranges at China Lake.
Thanks for that link- quite sad after seeing it though- some rare gems out there – if they are still around
I didn’t realise that they had to be returned to the states or scrapped as a condition of MAP-i thought it would be a nice ‘toy’ for the scadinavian historic flight tho!- shame, maybe its not as ‘sexy’ as the F-86, but it has a more interesting history than all those Aero Albatrosses!
Dare i say i knew what you meant, Texan?????:diablo:
I was trying to get someone to admit it!! – oh well, worth a try!!;)
I remember pictures of it running up at Wattisham- never saw it with air under its wheels though!
