At Legends soon then ? :diablo:

Which Half ????? 😉

There’s only half a data plate, so rightfully only one half of a rebuild would be authentic. The other half would be a replica 🙂

This new photo gave some relevance to another shot in my collection (below) where both the asymmetric ordnance and the Vickers display board with the ‘Spitfire’ logo were not apparent.

I look through the listing on the splendid ‘Scramble’ site and the mind just boggles at the thought of the line up.

The catapult launch Seafire to the right of the first image is very interesting and I look forward to seeing a closer shot of that at some time. It didn’t ought to be new to me but I don’t recall seeing it before.

VN318 went on to 80 Squadron in Hong Kong and then the HKAAF coded ‘E’ where it was sister ship to the IWM’s VN485

It’s amazing to see how the tail increased in size and shape over the early Spitfires to accomodated the increase in power from the Griffon.

It maybe a trick of the lens in this photograph, but the tail looks even larger.

For some reason they always remind me of War of the Worlds, nice photos, thanks.

There was an Eastmoor in Yorkshire close to where my mother lived during the War. It’s now a pig farm.

Didn’t they say is was an Army Urban Assault training site in Norfolk, can’t remember the name.

I’d tell no one, phone a local scrap dealer, and take a holiday on the proceeds.

No one else would be any the wiser, I’d be happy and sun tanned.

This like pulling teeth! Like busses, our Spitfire Experten seem to be absent when you need ’em and everywhere when you don’t.

I am lead to believe that our chief experten is on extended leave in Malta, the others are just mere replicas in comparison 😉
