Found this short video of Lindy arriving to her last Leuchars airshow 1993

She looks much smarter now than she did then at the end of her long 40 year? workhorse career! Well done guys!

I have an image scanned from Janes Fighting Aircraft WWII (Fwd: Gunston) of the P prototype with definitely very bright undersides – despite being black and white, it has distinctive camo markings.

These seem to corroborate exactly with the other image above, despite being the “other” side view, if you try to follow the locations and angles of the dark over the top of the fuse. Although the undersides from the previous image almost look white.

I had to get the wife to hold the large book on the scanner/printer and is a wee bit on a cant, but it worked 😉

Thanks for adding the second video too – great to see the clean low passes and then a banking turn also at low level to allow photographers to get a good shot – quite open country regions on both videos. Lovely sound.

It is in remarkable condition considering there is a lot of wood in the structure. An impressive bit of engineering – especially given the age in which it was designed and built…

Ian, that zoomed shot of the chute open was superb – well done! And congratulations to the whole team on a perfect run!! She looks resplendent and powerful!

I was surprised with the amount of damage and whether the crew got out safely or not. The swath through the trees looks like a purpose bulldozer made fire break – not maintained mind you. Yes, she is pretty much broken up. Those cannons are impressive! Thanks for the photos – a real untouched historical site.

Those 30mm rounds were much more accurate but very devastating!! Five bladed prop, certainly a higher performance end of war spittie, – we flinch now at the damage inflicted on such a lovely plane!!

But it didn’t for any other PC or laptop, as you will have it cached on your machine in the page file memory. Thanks for sharing the search though, it did help us to find the article.
