    Great stuff Chris. The Mosquito, code HT-E, is not WW2 though. It's a TIII, which was owned and operated by BAe at Chester, UK, until a fatal crash at Barton, Manchester, in the mid 1990s. That actually looks like one of my pics, but can't be sure. On air-show practice days, the pilot used to bring the kite in very low, and I mean low, with only a couple of feet clearance under the props ! It was a great aircraft, and great crew, sadly missed.

    Thanks! I thought something was amiss with that pic - didn't look like it was taken 60+ years ago. Also thought that Ameins raid pic would interest you.

    Nice pics. I have them all ID'd except the 3rd one down. At first glance, looking at the nose, I thought it was a Coronado. Then I noticed the 6 engines and the tail was wrong. What is that?

    Nevermind, I just ID'd it as a BV 238. Is that right?

    Wiki says it's the only one ever made so that's a rare pic

    I believe its a pic of the taxxing trials on Lake Schaal in April 1944.

    Good shots! Particularly like that second one with the SM79's.

    Here is what a low pass looks like from inside. I asked my pilot if we were trimming weeds.


    Wheee! Bearcat on a low and fast pass.
