Thanks, always wondering what other people are using. Just bought my self a Sigma 70-200mm with 2x converter. The only time for me doing air to airs is when doing transit with the Cat to airshows. Some times we get escorted.

Who would have thought that 64 years on, that any WW2 aircraft would still be flying, let alone any that actually took part in the Normandy landings.
With my limited knowledge, it’s the Grace Spitfire, possibly some others, over to you Mark 12.
Presumably there are some Daks about, but are there any others of any type anywhere in the world that were airborne over the beaches 64 years ago today.
As far as I know, HMS Belfast is the only surviving warship that took part in the bombartment, or are there others lurking in the States.
It would be interesting to know, apart from the cutting edge troops, how much equipment of any type and significance survives from that day.

As afr I know ML407 did only do a short flight as it had prop trouble, and was not over the beaches.

Rapide, duxford 1994.

As far as I ow he has/had 5 109’s. Two are already sold, 1 is now in Canada and the other is in the Seatle erea. The same as you I heard that one was/is for a German customer. For the rest don’t know.

The damage is very light. The props are gonners of course. For the rest there are some light scrathes to the metal atacht to the rigth under carraigeleg. And some damage to the right wingtip. Don’t know the state of the engine. The spit is tucked away in the T2 hanger at the Aviodrome.

For give me if this question is totally inrelevand. But how come you don’t run both engines on reheat the same time?
