| I remember seeing the 109 Black 6 flying from Duxford and they the same method for the 109. It struck me as ironic, that one of the most modern Planes around in the war had to be started like an Austin 7.
Strange combination of old and new. | |

| Thanks chaps.
I have some footage of them working on the 109 at Duxford somewhere... not sure if I remember it flying tho. By the way, compare and contrast teh start up technique with that of the other carrier plane, the Corsair in my video thread.
As regards the F111s in Oz, the country is huge so how come the Pigs are visible all the time? Heard somewhere their days are numbered... Oz jocks must have their eyes on the Siper Hornet! | |

| More pics from the vaults
Sorry to say I can't recall which TV doc (or vid) I got the Stringbag pix from (it must have been over a year ago).
Here are some I took back then. | |
