    JJ has a wonderful new whistling sound caused by the recent installation of the gun ports. Eagle eyed people will notice that the modern blade antenna (seen in Y11F’s picture) has been removed and replaced with the proper article also. She also now has drop tank pylons to match her friends.

    A while back on this board someone (sorry cannot remember who) suggested downloading Microsoft ‘Powertoys’ from their website. I did so and once you have it installed picture posting problems are solved as you are then able to right click on your picture file and select ‘resize image’ from the normal menu. You then pick small, medium or large (the first two are below the posting size threshold). Hey presto – a second copy of your picture is created with a (small) suffix which you can slect for posting in the normal way. It does not seem to have much of an effect on image quality either

    Spitfire PR19 – PM630, Thailand?

    The square sections at the base of the oleos are the remains of the supports from its outdoor display days. Not sure of exact date bur post 1980.

    I like this one. Its the real thing at least (spacer tubes in the datum longeron), upside down, curious box on the end of the oleo – can only mean…..

    …she looks amazingly clean, almost like a Mk. 16 model!

    What Mark, like a Spitfire Mk XVI you mean? The entire appeal of this aeroplane is it looks nothing like anything we have seen flying in the Spitfire family in the last fifty years. Each to their own opinion but its missing the point a bit IMHO to compare it to a Spitfire XVI, wonderful machines though they are.

    Yeah, this was the EAA’s B-17

    It is – it will be sadly missed at Airventure Oshkosh this year.

    Sad news… Another setback for CAF… Hopefully she can be easily repaired and return to the sky

    More of a setback for EAA. Lucky nobody was hurt.

    Pity we cannot see the expression on the face of the TFC engineer standing next to the extinguisher – deep concentration/consternation I expect.

    There is a guy dressed in a G1 and a red cap behind Nigel. How many people were dressed like that, that weekend? I think someone was earwigging. You know who you are.

    OK hands up. It was me 😀
