Great painting!-It looks like the only thing that’ll put a spanner in the works as regards the first flight will be the weather-100% chance of rain apparently (actually, it’ll be a wrench in America, eh??)
And an awful lot of mis-identification!! How difficult is it to come up with some film of an Il-38??-or to find out that a Tu-16 is NOT a fighter bomber? or that an X-15 is NOT a missile!!
In his autobiography, he says he was allotted Spitfire ‘YT-J’ whilst at 65 squadron and a few pages later mentions shooting down a ‘109. So I am assuming it was that one, but no doubt someone will come along with the definitive facts!
Sorry to disappoint you all, but it was actually the Flug Werke 190 having a high power blast on our tie-down point by the M11 in the dark. Apparently the flames out of the stacks were awesome. Unfortunately some of us were grafting down in the ARC part of T2 and for once couldn’t get any pictures…:eek:
I don’t suppose the CAA have changed their minds??!
