Crikey! A pre-Smurf Smurf! 😀

It’s gotten a lot better with the recent patches but it’s very much unfinished, let alone polished. The flight modelling has a long way to go. Also, best steer clear of the 1c forum, virtually every flight modelling discussion bogs down into a RAF vs Luffwaffe shouting match. Lots of spiteful attempts to use ‘facts’ to persuade the developers to nerf the Spit, (which still doesn’t match it real world abilities as it is).

Moggie, if she keeps blowing up on taxi out, it might be because for a long time the Hurri & Spit mixture controls were modelled back to front!

Code sizes and font style seem to vary quite a lot in 1940. Each squadron seemed to have it’s own peculiar quirks. If there were specific instructions for code applications it seems to have been limited to the colour of the paint used.

It’s also worth noting 32 and 610 were both Biggin Hill based. So it seems it may’ve been handled on a station by station basis, as well as squadron by squadron.

Graham, everything is radioactive even the human body. Short of smashing the dials and sucking the needles, the odds of achieving a dose concentrated enough to have poisonous or carcinogenic effects are astronomical. I handled alpha isotopes with my bare hands in a school science lab many times as a teenager. As long as good practice and risk awareness is maintained, these substances are harmless. Inhaling tobacco smoke is 100 times more dangerous.

Woodthorpe is in that vicinity, (There’s is also Kelstern but that’s north of Louth.). But the whole area around Louth used to part of the Lincolnshire Fens. It could be you’re seeing dikes and drainage channels from a reclamation effort.

Indeed – AR501’s propeller went to AR213.

AR501 will return with a Rotol.

DH props are available off the shelf if required – at a price!

There. Much more accurate. 😉

*Hatches cunning plan to thieve the DeHavilland prop from AR501 and secretly install it on P7350.*
