    cheap cds full of blueprints on evilbay.

    i’d suggest you print them to scale.. then lay your material on top and cut it rough.. look up hand built models tutorials.

    my bad.. i meant early as in old vintage photos..:)

    i’m not sure myself about the markings.. i’d be guessing Spanish war ones.. i’m not sure who the pilots are either but i’m sure some axis expert will be able to shed some light.

    here are some more. some photos might contain the insignia.. i’ll remove it if anyone takes offence so please let me know. also note the very interesting Yak?MiG?

    None..
    No Spitfire No Fury No Tempest has survived. I’d be guessing but I believe most of them were sold as spares to other countries.

    I remember a flight sim with pretty much full motion in the basement of the Trocadero (Piccadilly). The cockpit seat was encased in a gimbal arrangement, which enabled the seat to be spun through huge degrees of rotation in any direction. It didn’t provide (obviously) any vertical sensations, however.

    Spent ALOT of time on that machine!!! i remember it very well.. aircraft carrier – F15. it wasn’t very popular so I never had to queue up for it!

    i always wondering how the machine could be adapted for vertical sensation etc.. they could have installed a seat with hydraulic harness that applies pressure on the front when going up and the back of the seat pushing in etc. i guess there might be other way to do it. but the machine was joy! oh the endless rolls with any kills.. good memories 🙂
