    Mr Applegarth, you’re right you don’t want to know! 😉 😀 Black Shoe does that mean your chair is a fetching shade of pink?

    Did I say “camp chair?” I meant to say “portable lightweight articulated outdoor seating device.”

    Thank you all for your posts. You’ve been very helpful.

    Mark12: The schematic was exactly the sort of thing I was interested in. Is the full set of these schematics (i.e. for each Mark) in print or on the internet somewhere?

    It looks like the Spitfire Survivors book is really terrific. The sample pages on the publisher’s website make it really tempting to spend the mortgage money!

    Thanks again.

    I’ll be there on Saturday. I’ll be the one with a camera and a camp chair. I’ll also be wearing sunglasses (no harm in being optimistic).

    On Amazon there are two “Spitfire Survivors” books. One has a forward by Alex Henshaw, the other is by Gordon Riley.

    Okay, some more tiger stripes.

    NH was Carrier Air Wing 11 (CVW-11). From the tail markings, it looks like this aircraft may have been part of VS-37.

    CVW-11 deployed on the Kitty Hawk during the Viet Nam War, later on the America and Enterprise.

    Hello folks: Here is a photo of the Be-12 that overflew my cruiser while we were transitting the Black Sea in summer 1978.

    All the flying shots on my website are from the tank bank, have a look and see what you think. http://www.outflankeduk.com
    The sun can be a bit of a pain at first but I love watching shows from there.
