    I’m sure I saw the Mustang do a flypast over an aerodrome on the southcoast at around 2pm?

    I’m sure I took photos during previous visits.

    I do seem to remember that there might be Typhoon remains of some sort at the Arromanches museum.

    Bomberboy, they were called four motors by the German pilots. Or vier motors.

    Whilst to a degree they may have done so in the heat of battle, but I doubt they called them that for their interrogation or report purposes. The scenario “I am claiming a vier motor over Osnabruck” just doesn’t work for me and conversational experience with German people also tells me different
    It would be even more problematic when the same is applied to Zwei motors. 🙂

    Matthias, I am really enjoying the posts, particularly around the 109’s.
    What is the DB supply availability relative to the airframes being worked on? I would expect that there are obviously enough for the airframes themselves, but are there spare engines available as well?

    What I was trying to say Peter, is that when the Germans spoke about the 109 they said the one hundred and nine, rather than the one oh nine. Günther Rall springs to mind, he always said the one hundred and nine. But thanks for the additional info, I didn’t know that.

    I could almost hear the phrase one hundred nine rather than one hundred and nine being used as well. if not as the normal way.
    Perhaps Matthias can confirm, but I also understand that the German phraseology of say a B-24, is something akin to B two four and for a B-17 would be called a B one seven?

    Yes you are – rebuilt to airworthy condition (IIRC) by the Black 6 team then shoved into a museum… 🙁

    Which is where she was destined to go even as a flying aircraft anyway. It was sadly ironic that her last flight actually ended in the way it did. It certainly put paid to any chance of her flying on a bit longer, even if there had been an agreed delayed stay of grounding prior to the accident.

    Is that legal? (Not to carry the official registration).

    I don’t think any UK registered warbird, carries it’s actual civil registration, although having said that, there may be a few exceptions.
    On the other hand, I do think though that French registered warbirds always seem to carry their civil registration.

    I’d say one of the Heinkel HE 177 Grief variants?
