    Glad you’re home safe and sound. Great to meet with you at Duxford on the 10th.

    Cheers

    Those underwing markings certainly are Italian. Thanks for scanning the profile for me. 🙂 Looks like Dragon have made a **** up with the wing markings then!

    Superb! Looking though the list in the first link, it looks like Wk Nr 10825 was the only G-2 Trop in service with the Italians, the rest were G-4’s & G-6’s. The individual number, Gruppo, and Squadriglia tally ok, so I reckon this is the machine in question. Maybe it was an ex-Luftwaffe replacement, I feel that the crosses on the wings would suggest that it was indeed a replacement.
    There must be photos somewhere for Dragon to have reproduced the colour scheme, maybe in a private collection?

    Nice photo BTW! 😀

    Cheers

    Ok thanks for that. Im aware of the 109’s in Sicily (see below), in fact these were the only ones I could find anything about.

    It seems strange that a company like Dragon would produce a model of a machine that didn’t exist, they are normally quite stringent over their research. They must have got the info from somewhere, though I’m damned if I know where! :rolleyes: 😀

    The search continues!

    What’s the story with the Luftwaffe pilot standing next to the 609 Sqn Crest?

    Sad to note the last pic in …Starfires post has the RNHF’s Firefly, and TFC’s P-38 “California Cutie” in the same shot. 🙁

    Seems like the local objectors ought to be rewarded with an industral estate (or a car factory?!) and heavy lorries thundering past their doors at all hours.HP

    It happened in a little place called Eyke in Suffolk, just outside the former Bent-waters airbase. It only took one or two nimbys to overturn any chance of an airfield at for former base, despite it being proposed as a replacement for the now closed Ipswich Airport. We all got the last laugh because now it’s an industrial estate, they get articulated trucks thundering through the village at a rate of three every ten minutes! Now THAT’s justice!!!:D 😀

    Rob, going by past years, the Spring show is bloody cold. And also going by past years, the Autumn show is also bloody cold.

    They are also both held on Sundays, which might cause problems for the timings you’ve mentioned.

    I think the Duxford spring show is a two dayer on 7th and 8th May as it’s the VE Day 60th anniversary weekend. 🙂

    catalina yes which though?

    Looks like a red cowling, so I’d guess it’s Plane Sailings PBY-5A.
