Sensor? What part of a roll of film is that then? :rolleyes:

Its the red window you see your numbers through… isn’t it? :diablo:

Are you sure? The only pic I can see from Legends of the P40B (unless there was another – as you can probably guess I wasn’t there!) shows it in a dark green scheme. And I thought it was the elliptical-winged plane that had the pale rudder, hence why I jumped when I saw the Sea Fury pic this morning.

Hope I don’t seem rude – I’m just a bit bemused!

Well, I thought I’d seen two of the BBMF fighters (we were walking on RAF Holbeach) at about 3.30pm on Sunday – in that area it seemed logical. I thought one each of Spitfire and Hurricane, but they were at a distance and angle where, even using a big lens as a monocular, I couldn’t be 100%. The lead one appeared to have a white/pale rudder.

However, looking at Flypast this morning, the latest Sea Fury was test-flown with primer-painted control surfaces – but was supposed to heading to Yeovilton for the completion of its paint scheme. And none of the BBMF aircraft have a pale rudder. :confused::confused:

Any offers on what I actually saw?

(oh, think I saw the DC3 as well, but that really was a long way off!)

Currently on the front of the BBC news page – though obviously not top story (Gordo is far more interesting, honest):

That be an Iron Fairy – a four-square little critter.

As far as I know, never built by Fairey, or they’d have spelt it that way. I can check in the book of the village history if you are interested – I’d suggest PMing me, as not everyone here is as interested in other machinery as I am – after all, it’s not “Flypast and Cranes Forum, is it?

Kev,

It’s also possible you may get help on the Great War Forum:

http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/

They have a dedicated section for the war in the air, and I suspect your task would be right up the street of some of the people there. Plus there are a number of Flypast forumites there already. You’ll need to register, and wait for a response (due to spammers, unfortunately), but it has some extremely knowledgeable and helpful people there.

Hope that helps,

Adrian

Blue skies, Chaz.

Another one who read his books… You’ll be missed, mate! 🙁

Love the description of the “non-firing” model – I think someone knows their audience! 😀
