    One comparison may be the current state of F1 cars, all developed by different teams coming from different directions but the top cars all managed to be within a second or so of each other over the course of a lap and are to all intense purposes equal, however factor in external influences such as weather, support crew, the driver (pilot) and their confidence, moral, experience, other cars on track etc and it will give one an advantage over another on one day but on another day the factors may be different.

    The same is true of the ‘which is better’ debate and by glossing over a great many facts, the Spit won the Battle of Britain 🙂

    Real shame, would have loved to see and old Whirlwind or something back home, I remember many years ago sitting on my dad’s knee and hearing of the planes that flew out of Merryfield and other parts of Somerset

    Is the smile from being married or having the spit?

    Congratulations and what a stunning feature to have at your wedding.

    Why, XS235 didn’t appear in Raspberry ripple? Can, worms – go!
    It would look nice though, ‘814 which did wear that scheme looked fantastic.

    How many spitfires, mustangs, warbirds don’t appear in the same colours they were actually operational in?

    😀

    Love to see the F104s run as well and considering how many more seem to be back to running state the team at Brunty seem to be doing very well already so fingers crossed.

    mmm a nice high gloss raspberry ripple to compliment the Canberra would look stunning and if I were a betting man is where my money would go.

    Can anyone identify what the logo at the bottom of the tail may be, it doesn’t look like the standard Sopwith logo that I’m aware of, sadly it’s not all that great quality in the original.

    Thanks again

    The extra annotations on #19 are a bonus but I can’t work out exactly what it says on the left

    and in a correct shade of HEMP and not PINK :D:D

    Wait for the right time of the evening when the sun is low and I’m sure it’ll be pink as well!

    its a wave guide

    Can someone explain in layman’s terms for this layman the purpose of the wave guide?

    As for the three bucs, one doing her thing and looking great was amazing, but three…

    talking of the vixen what is that bit bolted to the outside running right down the length of the fuslage on the port side for? I did get a brief explanation from someone but would like to know more and can’t remember the details of what was said.

    and no-one took any decent ones of us running the sea vixen, i don’t know why we bother

    We heard a noise and couldn’t work out what it was and now wish I’d come over to investigate. That’s why you don’t bother 😉
