Is that after the Tempest?

Is that after the Tempest?

Ummm.. ya of course!

Actually I'll likely be working on both at the same time. I need to find a Tempest pilot with some A-A victories. I haven't actually started looking yet but if you happen across one please let me know

Nice link Pam; like the video bit in the gallery section. Makes even James May's 1:1 Airfix kit look lame!

Finally got to watch it, and I've still got
to say my favo(u)rite part is the shot of
the Geese at the Factory! I've seen bits
and pieces of this before, but never the
whole thing in one place.

Broken record here, but I also have to say
I'm personally very proud to say that a
little over 20 percent of the wartime
Mosquito production were powered by
Packard Merlins. It might actually be a
little more, but that's just the Canadian
and Australian ones I can identify.

Not bad for a Flying Chest of Drawers, eh?

Just found this on the Tube what a lovely sound, I wonder where and when it was made? Look at the Spits I think one is coded JE maybe Canadian? Who had that many Mossies ?

by **RLN** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 10:15 pm

Errr hate to say this, DB. It's CGI. Bloody good though, i keep watching it.

by **Gully** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 2:19 pm

Good to read in Aeroplane mag that the Canadian Mossie restoration to flight is still proceeding well

Blimey! Doh! Surely its got to be real aircraft I reckon, but scanned altered to produce multiples. Looking again I think the ident no's on the Spits are duplicated. Marvellous what can be done.
