Herc’s have been up here (Caithness) a bit lately as well doing low level flying.

Last summer, I was out on my yacht, enjoying the peace of it all, when a low level Hercules roared past at mast height (30ft or so) before climbing slightly and banking hard left. The wingtip was barely clearing the surface. It was an amazing sight. Must have been for my amusement, as I was 8 miles out at sea and they passed pretty close!

Thanks Dave. Confused the hell out of me! Never saw one up here before tho. Still, looked and sounded great. All we need now is the sweet sound of Merlins. Never happen tho. 🙁

Well, there you go. You learn something new every day.

The ones based at Kinloss used to regularly do touch and go’s here in Wick. Its been very quiet and boring without them!

Mind you, the noise was never as good as the old Shackletons……………

Thanks for the info.

Hi there John.
You are right about the crests origins being the Glouster Gamecock.
I have modelled two of 43’s Hurricanes, Pete Townsends, and Frank Careys.
They were depicted as flown from RAF Wick in northern Scotland.
I have also modelled a Mk1 Hunter in 43 Sqdn markings, but it isnt a particular aircraft.
They are all RC.
Ive not seen the modified crest wearing the boxing gloves before, and Im interested in this as well.
Looking forward to a spate of 43 Sqdn info flowing forth…..

Thanks a LOT Wieesso!!:cool:
she’s a bit faded, but its the real deal alright. You can just make out a cartoon “Fighting ****” on her nose. Its the small details like that im after. They can totally change a scale models appearance.
Any more?
