    Very nice piccies. I haven't visited the IWM for ages,I really must get down there again.
    I've got some somewhere of that Fw190 as "AirMin 75" at the captured enemy aircraft show at Farnborough. We (well,the RAF) stuck it on top of AirMin 77,a Ju88A-6,to illustrate a Mistel combination. It's not clear whether this was an original combination or not.
    Cheers

    Great stuff Karl. It's changed a bit since I was there last - in 1966, during the World Cup !!

    As far as I remember, the guns are from H.M.S. Vanguard, our last battleship, which never saw action.
    The Spitfire is not in its original state, since it's been updated (quite apart from the colour scheme.) The wings are really Va standard, since they have the stiffeners over the wheel wells, which were not introduced until July, 1942.

    You have a good eye for photos. Thanks for posting them Karl. My lad and I enjoyed our recent visit to the IWM.
    Pity that there isn't a Hurricane there.
    Cheers
