Great, looked like the right stuff until you included that fat blue thing with the nosewheel. The one of MH 434 landing shows the PROPER way to set down a real aeroplane. Makes my hands itch.

BILL! "fat blue thing"?? BILL!
Are you refering to the F7F Tigercat???
Gotta be one of the sleekest (that would be fashionably thin) twin engine fighters ever.
I like the Spit & all, but come on...please don't knock the widdle Tiger.
...and the engines sound neat @ full roar too!
:wink:

If it needs two engines to fly and they aren't Merlins, then I gotta admit I am kind of a P-61 fan.

I love Duxford!

Was there for 60th anniversary of BoB - what a sight! Probably 20-25 Spits & Hurricanes doing a scramble formation takeoff! B17 escorted by P47 & P51! Simply unbelievable!

Great pix! Makes me miss it even more!

Nice shots!


Ya'll seem to be T28B free over in dem parts. Bummer for you dude. :D

Don't worry about Bill, He's "Teched". Bad sort really. Probably the only the only reason he is "Identifing" all ya'll, is because he needs a lot of dental work.

It's cool.

Really though, Great shots!
