    I have a list which I welcome additions to. I have the run of the mill aircraft and those of the 50’s & 60’s but would welcome more unusual RAF & Navy wartime aircraft. Also aircraft in the 126 & 526 codes, being US & French respectively.
    Also compiling list for Section 36 & 136, engines.
    If you do submit it would be useful to supply the Air Publication relevant to the Parts.

    Me thinks the Beverly’s are in the Middle East, 34 Squadron at Seletar aircraft were silver with black spinners. The Hastings look like they are at Changi with a visiting Brit. The blast wall is familiar too.

    Second row first on the left. My first flight ever was in RF569 for two hours out of RAF Upwood.

    A pair of 190’s low over our house in Essex, formation of B-17’s returning from a raid and a V-1 buzzing its way inland, not necessarily in that order.

    Far East in the fifties. Brigands, Beaus., Sunderlands, Lincolns, Spits and after all that, what a night life!

    The Hurricane can be hand started, I’ve done it! A handle is put in on both sides, man on either side. First time we tried, two blades and away she went. Second time one of the handles didn’t disengage properly and went into orbit! We didn’t try again after that.

    Maybe you guys don’t realise but the re-enacters are there in a security role not just to look pretty! Choice is yours, re-enactors or yellow vests?
