I don’t think I’ll be shelling out 🙂

Who she????

Cargomaster,

It’s a Nord 1002 Pingouin II G-ATBG, (ex F-BGVX) currently registered to Thomas Harris. The Nord 1002 was built post-war by Nord on the production line established in early 1942 for construction of the Bf108. Nord continued production post-war with several developments of the ‘108’ and ‘208’

PhantomII,

AirBritains ‘The Battle file’ is pretty good. There are chapters on -the spec & the various tenders, the Battle & its rivals for the contract, production & development (including a twin-engined Battle), pre-war service, with info on the various sqdns that flew it, The Battle in France, anti-invasion ops after the fall of France, Battles in Iceland, use of the Battle in the UK for training, the Battle in Canada, Australia, South Africa & Rhodesia, Exports, use as a test-bed, preserved Battles, plus a potted history of every Battle, plus some very nice colour profiles, and plenty of good photos (none showing inside of cockpit though). My copy cost me £25.

Our local ATC unit during the war had a twin-cockpit Battle trainer!
