Guess what !?! 😀

still in use here in Switzerland on a farm – the owner doesn’t want to part with it.

But one day…..

as for operational Mustangs, i.e. carrying colors into combat, I think the 356th FG is neat:

I would love to see that film “Star of Africa” that was made using Hispano-engined Hispanos!

Release date of DVD 31st January 2005 – check amazon.de and enter “Stern von Afrika”

Me! What could I possibly add?

BTW, according to Mrs DHFan, I’m always grumpy, not selectively.

Here’s the Canadian example

Points to Martin…

Can you post the article or the illustration?

Cheers!

Afraid not !

Sorry folks – but is there an ‘old’ IPMS UK fellow out there who might have this issue ?

So…. what about this racer??

a mistery to me

– at Reno September 1981, there was a HA-1112, race #5, of Howard Beal who didn’t make the finals; listed as 25th place; participated in air display and ground-looped on landing, suffering serious damage and also damaging another aircraft.

and in 1978, there is a Me-109G listed, race #109, of Don Whittington, nickname of a/c “Miss Florida II” – had mechanical troubles enroute to Reno and arrived late; and during a race it it dropped out in Lap 3 due to a broken connecting rod and didn’t finish.

And in the overall post-war unlimited air racing database, I have no entry with race #43 at all.

Back to square one……. *sigh*
