Thanks for all your feedback folks,all much appreciated. Interesting story about the two in Portugal,I knew they’d had one but didn’t realise another had escaped! There’s a picture of the one that stayed alongside the P39’s in Squadron/Signal’s “P38 Lightning in Action”. The comparitive trials with the Lavochkin make interesting reading,thanks for posting Jan. It’s amazing to hear the La had a longer range!
Looks like I’ll have to ditch the Russian markings idea for my model,though.

Lovely shots Lima,thanks for posting. How many airworthy Tigers are there in Norway at the moment?

“Are they actually going to have a stripped down Spitfire, or is it just some sort of metaphor?”

Spitfire Mk.22 PK664 (formerly gate guard at RAF Binbrook) has been taken out of storage at RAFM Cosford and is now being worked on by Historic Flying Ltd at Duxford in preparation for the display.

Can’t really suggest anything more than the obvious Spitfire/Hurri,but it looks to me as though whatever it came from was lost in action rather than in an accident-the safety ring around the fire button is twisted round to the ‘Fire’ position.

I remember seeing a Huey flying along the south coast a couple of years ago,apparently the German Army still operate a few and bring them over here on occasional exercises. Perhaps it was one of those near Loughborough?
As an aside,I saw a German CH53 “Jolly Green” near Luton just a few days ago.

A bit of an aside,but didn’t the Germans make thier engine bearers out of Electron in WW2?

If I won the lottery I’m not sure I’d go into owning anything airworthy at all,as others have pointed out it saps the finances in the long term. Being the historic aeroplane nut that I am I’d be happy putting money into museum acquisitions and building projects etc,and perhaps buying something airworthy to donate to somewhere like the Shuttleworth Collection,particularly in the case of saving something significant from being exported.

Hmmmm…my best guess would be a Fairey Spearfish,although I’ve never seen one with an intake scoop on the top of the cowling.

Blimey,interesting stuff Mark. I knew some daylight Spits were used at night when the need arose,but didn’t realise any were used exclusively at night. Interesting to see that although this machine has the night camouflage,it doesn’t appear to have the glare shields fitted under the windscreen.
Do you have any more pics or anecdotes on night-fighter Spits,pretty please??
