    When I was a kid (coff coff) in the 50’s my dad was

    a mate of of one of the guys who ran a feeder airline called Brain and Brown which flew to the islands in Bass Strait (in Australia between Victoria and Tasmania) which had several surplus Ansons.

    I got to crawl all over the old Mk1s they used and I still remember how cramped the bomb aimer position in the nose was.

    RAF certainly did send Mosquitos over Germany to hunt German nightfighters. I believe the Germans did the same.

    Actually the size issue is a bit of an illusion – the P40 is sitting on the floor while the Demon appears to be either on some sort of blocks or it has the u/c legs attached and the tail elevated.

    I’ll be interested to see if it is the Pt Cook Demon or not – I was working from a hunch.

    The whole Hart/Demon family are probably one of the most attractive designs ever – IMHO of course. Camm was a real artist.

    I suspect that it is the Hawker Demon that is now restored and at the Point Cook Museum. It is a thing of real beauty.

    If we told you we’d have to shoot you – oh what the hell we’ll tell you.

    Its a ultra cosmic classified instrument to measure the enthusiasm level of the advanced air show attendee. At the first sight of the attendee’s favourite aircraft the instrument glows red and sends a signal to the organizers who immediately alert the nearest tee shirt vendor to offer the enthusiast their cut rate special embossed tee shirt.

    It is called the Tee Shirt Vendometer.

    😉
