Are Scandinavian Vampires staying in UK a while? Can’t remember last time saw a single seater one.
P-40F looks absolutely stunning and does the P-47 and 3 buchon’s in one place thats fantastic, LIke the colour schemes on the visiting P-51s too.

I am really hoping I feel OK for this weekends show, Lost my Mum last week and have funeral tommorow and basically have not really faced many people since she passed. But I hope Legends will let me escape the grief thats around me at the moment.

I know we don’t know each other, but I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear of your mum’s passing. Each person handles their grief differently, as others have said, but I hope you manage to get out for a little respite at Legends. Take care, ok?

All the best,
Richard

Amazing similarity of the camouflage tone and style on all ‘three’ Spitfires. 🙂

You’re right Mark12. Going even further, it’s pretty clear to me that it’s actually a model kit. Look at the photo full size, and you will see clear indications in the way the aircraft has been “weathered”. Also, the smoke staining from the guns looks way too defined and too long as well. There are other obvious giveaways too. Nicely done regardless though.

After the pilots panel decal plates……..I really really hate that machine now.

Very nicely made placards. Are you doing these yourself, and if so, what are you using to make them?

Of course they could have looked at a more modern design, after all the Boeing P8 is a development of the much newer 737, that didn’t take to the air until 9 April 1967! A real advance that will be, when it enters service, only 44 years old so far. Some real jokers on here lately……

The P-8 is based upon the 737-800 and -900 series aircraft. If you think there is much in that aircraft which resembles the original 1967 brand, you are very much mistaken.

As much as I love the Nimrod, the MRA-4 was a complete bast*rd child of a program, and was inevitably doomed to failure. The MOD tried to do things on the cheap, and we’ve all paid the consequences.

Surely it would have been far more sensible to have gone with a modified, off-the-shelf modern airliner design than the route they took. No, you wouldn’t have had a traditional bomb bay, but this does not appear to have caused a problem with the P-8. I think it’s a crime that none of the flight-worthy MRA-4’s are being preserved though… I suppose they present too great an embarrassment to those involved.
