Heh. There’s no defined date of the beginning….. Marcel Julian in his marvellous work on the battle says something like “for the Germans the Battle of Britain began in June, for the RAF it began in May” or something like that.

According to German historians, the battle ended in October 1941!

Can’t imagine it being much use to many people – it says owners of Spitfires from the time of the Battle of Britain, so only the BBMF with the IIa and the owner(s) of Mk I AR213 will find it useful!

611 Squadron, in 1948, was flying with Spitfires, replacing them with Meteors in 1951 and was disbanded in 1957, so theres a good chance he could have been moved to a Twin Pin when the squadron disbanded, although personally would have thought they would have kept him on fighters, unless he chose to fly transports/pilots were badly needed for transports

Looks great, i’ll be there! Do Friends of Sywell Aerodrome get discount on tickets? (Knew that fiver would save me money in the long term :D) Also, are the Hurricane and Spitfire coming along the HAC one’s like pictured? Can’t wait to go, only been to one airshow before!

PC probs at the museum at the moment so emails may not be read or responded to for some time – comments in the guestbook would be nice – other people can see them then too!

Cheers for the heads up, added an entry to the guestbook as well

Still have some of that set knocking around in a box, had them since i was a kid. saw the two t/a’s and a few on the figures about a week ago whilst searching for an old Jet Prov model. anyone know if these were used to crank up the JP T4?.

all the best.

Once saw a line of JP’s at Cosford with accumulators all being started up, not sure if they were all T5’s or if there were a few 4’s though. By the way, who makes a model of the T4?

Been speaking to loads of people all on NTL whos internet has gone funny, really annoying when your trying to get something off ebay
