Deffo a Bf109, looks like a G model to me and the lumpy fairings over the cowl guns and the canopy style suggest G-6. The main canopy and rear section would detach if the jettison handle was pulled, looks like someone might have pulled it unwittingly on this example.

The negative has been reversed- the filler cap (with yellow octane rating triangle) and the supercharger intake are on the wrong side. Edit : Duggy beat me to it.

Amazingly quick progress, especially that cowling. Fingers crossed for Oshkosh…

It looks as though the Do217 has just taken off, the main wheel bays are open and the tailwheel is still down. Perhaps a captured example routing to Farnborough for evaluation??

That’s great news if true, it really deserves to be in the public gaze. Has it been fully restored or will it be arriving as a project?

Have to admit I probably never really appreciated the Jag when it was in service, but I’ve taken more of an interest since they were retired by France and UK (India and Ecuador still operating theirs?). Great atmospheric pics, and great paintjobs too.

Regards the decision to retire them, wasn’t there some sort of fatigue problem with the wing attachments??

It perhaps goes without saying that Hastings TG503, very fittingly on display in Berlin, is also an Airlift veteran,

The beach landing/take off scene is mentioned in this month’s Aeroplane, the captain of the Dak was Andrew Dixon (perhaps better known for displaying Sally B, the article is about him) and the aircraft was N147DC of Aces High. The location was apparently Saunton Sands, Devon.

I agree about film credits not being given a high enough priority, it’s even worse when a film gets to TV or some on-demand service, Netflix for example is pretty awful when it comes to minimizing the screen size when the credits roll and the next episode will often kick in before the credits have rolled for the last one. The people lower down the credits have very little chance of being appreciated.

Great clip! That Cessna 190 looks convincing in USAAF colours, had to look twice! Very nice Luscombe T8F, don’t see many of those around.
