Andy,
Thanks for sharing, makes me wish Id been born a few years earlier, but alas it wasnt to be. Still at least I got Milt & Dave to show me what Id missed. Bex

Some of the ammo is pistol cartridges, probably .45 or 9mm, Im not too hot on those, but the others are definately .303, the tray u have in your hand Ive counted 3 possibly 4 BLANK .303 cases, which will only be from a rifle, as BLANK .303 for various MG’s had a balsa wood head which meant that any .303 calibre MG needed a special “masher” barrel in order to destroy the balsa wood to maintain gas operation of the working parts. One thing I do suggest you do, is isolate the .303 rounds with the heads still on them and have them checked to make sure their safe. Bex

Dave, the jag is enjoying a cruise still at the moment. I will let you know when it gets here.

Paul, any ideas how much work you will have on the cockpit interior? Bex

Twelve O Clock High. Firs thought before watching was “Oh eck more Greg Peck propaganda” and how wrong could I have been. FIrst time I have ever seen this film was amazed by the story, how moving it was and the sheer fact they combined actual wartime footage with the movie and I didnt realise (but then Id never seen it and didnt know what to expect). Did I like it, yes I ruddy well did, and I shall be watching it again tonight in bed, very impressed with it. Bex

Thank you guys

Ty everyone, well John, I like your idea of Shacklefire. Id never seen a Spit with contra props and i must say it looks pretty amazing, I think I might have a 1/72 Spit that could do with a difference Bex :diablo:

Cracking photos, looks like u had great day up there. Ok 2 questions now:

1. Why has the blue spitfire got 2 props or isnt it a spitfire but something else?

2. Is the FW190 a war time airframe or has some clever chap built it from scratch?

TIA

Bex
