Coming in out of the Cold

Hi all
I've been lurking around for a while and thought I'd stop by and say hello..... Hello!!
About me, erm I'm a British ex-pat living in NZ my main interest is the B-24 Liberator in RAF and Commonwealth use. I've run a website about this subject for over 10 years now, links
http://www.acseac.co.uk & RAF Liberator Squadrons
I got back in to modelling about a year ago after a long break and have been displaying some stuff on another forum. This forum's not as active as this one but it is friendly and does lack the usual rivet and bolt counters evident in a lot of forums. Maglar says you're a good bunch so I thought I'd make myself known
Gary or Gaz (I don't mind which)

Hi V2 thanks for the photo do you mind if I use it on my site?

Serial Number: KH152
Aircraft Mk & Type Mk VI Liberator
Squadrons: 34 SAAF
Details: Missing (Warsaw) 17.10.44

KH152 was shot down whilst its crew were making a scond attempt to deliver supplies to Polish reistance fighters in the Warsaw area. Whilst flying at a height of 11000 feet about 20 miles north-east of Krakow, the aircraft was attacked by a night-fighter its controls were badly damaged and fuel tanks set on fire.

Cheers
Gary
