Jet Provost Mk4

Do’es anyone have any photo’s of Jet Provost T4 cockpit. I am rebuilding one at Dumfries Museum but we only have T3 pilots notes and the T4’s instrument panel and side walls are completely different.

Red Baron.

Some time ago I puchased the Red Baron, World War 1 FS. It was a great piece of kit, but when I upgraded to Windows XP, it would’nt run. I have looked at some of the patches that are available but they are too complicated for my aged brain. Do any of you know of a patch that would help me.

Butterfly Bomb containers.

When Grimsby was showered with these bombs in 1942 I was only twelve, but I remember seeing containers littered around the town and they seemed to be cylindrical, five feet long and about three feet in diameter. They appeared to be spring loaded to open on leaving the aircraft scattering the bombs willy nilly.
