Looking at Robbo´s pic of AR501 NN-D I was highly irritated – until I realised it is NN-A now… 😉

It´s a 202, the 205 has got some ugly air intakes at the front.

No. 6 Macchi MC.202 Folgore ?

No. 1 Looks like a mixture of Thunderbolt and Skyraider – maybe a prototype?

No. 5 I think they´re both Ladas.

1345hrs: Off Winterton (East Coast) Hurricane. 242 Squadron Coltishall
Midshipman P.J.Patterson missing.

MIDSHIPMAN? That is a Navy rank, isn´t it? His biography would be interesting.

My first Flypast.

Flypast´s September 1999 issue featured an 8-page-report on the BOB-Hurricanes (LF363, PZ865, 5377 RIP, P2617, Z7015 and LF751) and their fate, including a MK I cutaway and fold out profile/ painting of PZ865 as MI-G.

The pictures in this issue made me building Revell´s MK II Hurricanes as Z7015 and LF751 in (1999) colours and G-ORGI in its 1991 first-flight-primer-scheme.

I am not saying that you may not have looked PJ but to everybody it is worth looking at the link each day as it shows how the day in question developed.
The casualty list for today is thankfully shorter than yesterdays but it is just raw fact and does not reflect the weight & severity of action. There were many engagements today ( the first at 0535 hrs ) and claims were made by 74,43,64,151,601,111,257,145,65,56,87,213,238,609,152 & 92 Sqns.

74 destroyed +4 to AA, 31 probables +2 to AA and 49 damaged for a loss of 13.
There were heavy raids particularly on Portsmouth & RAF Detling,Andover & Eastchurch with casualties on the ground. Civilian 23 killed 177 wounded, RAF 12k 41w.

Some days were harder than others, but for those involved if you survived today tomorrow morning saw the start of your next ‘hardest day’.

Today is Adlertag, right?

I´m always thankful for seeing such great videos and so I promtly tried downloading it. However, I can´t rewind or play fast forward, that is always a sign, the download was incomplete. 🙁 18,7 MB, 9,07 minutes?

The footage itself is just great, especially the SOUND! I have to listen to Merlins live – one day!!! 🙂

Although the F111 escape capsule was intended for emergencies, not the normal modus operandi!!

Yes, and unlike the Natter, F111-pilots survive ejecting. The poor guy, who made the one and only Natter flight … well …

Hellcat, Bearcat, why not? May I suggest the names for the next kittens? Tiger-cat, Cat-alina and Cat-arpillar 😉

John C, you do not have the “Typhoon”-named print in 1024×768? 😀

PS: I first thought it to be a Hawker Tempest, I miss the barrels of the guns.

Well, I don´t collect prints, but I know that I prefer Taylor and Trudigan prints.
I once bought a large sized postcard with a Roger Moddlebrook print on it, people who read my BOAC-Mossie-thread should know it already. (I´m sorry for low resolution, but I do not have any own webspace.)
PS: The mossie was not shot down, but made a gear up landing in Sweden.

Yep, I agree, great Pictures!
Some questions: The blue Spitfire (“The Last”) that is PR.XIX PS915, isn´t it? What about the other one, “R” with invasion stipes?
