the Changeling

slow paced, chilling, disturbing…..and well worth it…..

That looks fantastic

A job very well done, that 8th picture of the underside looks so real, a carbon copy of a well known shot that (IIRC) Duxford used on some publicity and I’ve seen countless times. Well done, thanks for sharing.

about ******* time Mr Brown!

who cares what the motivation is, the door is open, and quite right too !

Baxter can remember the code for M9119 being MD119 “NX – T”

Also in his old photo album was a photo of the famous 453 Sq plane, the letterings being “FU-K”. He says where ever it landed, everybody wanted a photo of it. WHY ????

If you can get a copy of tha Ian Allen “Spitfire at war 3”, it has a chapter by Flying Officer Don Nicolson “D-day Top Cover” which is about 131 Squadron, 8 or so pictures, none of “T” though. It shows Flg Officer Hewlett, Flt Lt Ron Moody, and Sqd Ldr O’Meara with all pictures credited to Don Nicolson.

The Osprey “late mark Spitfire aces” by Alfred Price also has a photo of MD110 also credited to Flying Officer Nicolson, maybe there are more to be found?

Maybe that helps or is of interest ?

well, your post made me utter a ******* word as I read the link.:mad:

add to that the ongoing MP expenses claims.

this BBC news link

also got a “bad word” out of me, especially the comment about troops being killed for lack of kit when we spend money on this, now this is offensive!

Mosquito….

maybe it will show some “follow on” or “later in life” stories as well ? Set dressing (which would be cheaper with CGI ?) maybe, The Hurricane suprised me though.

Nice topic to speculate on though.

Quick show of hands of anybody who has heard the commentary about the “smooth purr of the Rolls Royce Merlin” just as a Spitfire PR-19 goes belting past, regretably not quite loud enough to drown out the affore mentioned commentary…..

Being serious for a moment I’m not sure what arrangements the Greek and Portuguese A7s were originally acquired under and whether or not they might realistically be available to UK groups.

I’ve never tried to import an aircraft so may not know what I’m talking about, but surely on “Older” types like the A-7 that are not in service anywhere now (IIRC just Greece and Portgual?) if they strip the avionics, break or damage the main spar in some way, its no longer a viable flyer or “Threat” then it maybe more possible ? I know that the US are chopping F-14’s into tiny pieces so no spares get to Iran (maybe we should try and import one from there :diablo:) but do the “difficulties” extend to all US military types ?
