I like all of them G teriffic pics, not that many shots of a Sunderland ploughing the waves around so I nicked it .

Wildcat · 08-31-2005, 12:11 PM

Great pics, love the Beaufighter!

Gnomey · 09-02-2005, 06:57 PM

Small update - Germany...

Any help in identifying squandrons etc would be greatly appreciated as well as for those aircraft I don't have a mark for. Thanks

great pics gnomey.and i eventually have that pic of a tempest mk 2 for you

evangilder · 09-06-2005, 10:09 AM

The He-111 looks like the one that used to be part of the CAF in Mesa Arizona. I can get more info on that plane if you want. It was a CASA (Spanish built) model. That airplane was also the personal transport of Franco.

jrk · 09-06-2005, 03:48 PM

i get that feeling too evan it looks like one that was used in the film the battle of britain.

evangilder · 09-06-2005, 04:56 PM

That could be. The one the CAF was flying was the last one that was still flying. There are none flying now, sadly.

Wildcat · 09-06-2005, 08:24 PM

Cool pics Gnomey!

jrk · 09-07-2005, 07:16 PM

more static planes on the agenda then rather than airworthy ones

Gnomey · 09-08-2005, 05:43 PM

Some from Madagascar - this is the aftermath of Cyclone Ernest (nothing like Katrina but still shows what a 'weak' storm can do to wooden buildings.)

jrk · 09-11-2005, 04:41 PM
