The Spit XII drivers of 41 Squadron. Sadly many of these guys are no longer with us. Photo taken at Coltishall in 85. Getting included in the picture is still one of the highlights of my life.

I've got some good shots of Lanowski when he was flying P-51s with the 354th FG.

I'd be interested to see them if you get a chance to post them, Jack. I didn't realise that he flew with the 354th as well.
