Yes that’s exactly right, Daz.

The Thunder beast really moves !!
Mind you the smaller size does give a greater illusion of speed.

Here’s a big “gull-winged wind generator”. Was hard to hang onto my sunnies and camera while taking this shot……. 😮

Cheers Dave.

The Thunder Mustang’s V-12 even sounded similar to a Merlin, albeit higher-pitched.
Beautifully made and finished, not sure about the colour scheme though…

Thanks Stieglitz.

Now for something a little different but equally historical was this BEAUTIFUL Brough Superior.
I’m not sure if the planned race between the Bristfit and this took place.
(reinactment of Lawrence of Arabia’s race !!)

This was displayed next to the equally stunning BE-2 restoration

Do you have pictures of the other P-40 in the one picture?

Brilliant book, brilliant man and brilliant to see him in a Spit again

Thumbs up on behalf of us NZ’ers 🙂 🙂 🙂
