Well I thought I would start my own gallery, so here it is.

I'll start with some American planes and see how it goes.

I like that last one. Pretty cool.

plan_D · 08-28-2005, 07:42 PM

Yeah, that last one is tasty.

Wildcat · 08-29-2005, 05:14 AM

I agree, that last one is great! Keep em coming Gnomey.

That Catalina shot is really nice! I like the Wildcat one too.

cheddar cheese · 08-29-2005, 05:42 PM

Nice, I didnt have that 202 one! Thanks!

Wildcat · 08-29-2005, 08:05 PM

Yep, I do like them Wildcats!

Nonskimmer · 08-29-2005, 08:32 PM

Nice pics Gnomey. I only wish that Liberator pic was a bit bigger.

It's still cool though. They all are.

Hey look NS! A larger version of the Lib that I had laying around!

Nonskimmer · 08-30-2005, 11:13 AM

Hey, thanks a bunch CC! But upon closer inspection of my old plane folder, I discovered that I already had it after all.

I'm a little curious about the markings though. Those are from between 1965 and 1968 (new Canadian flag and roundel style, yet still says RCAF on the aircraft), but Libs were retired from the RCAF in 1948. The last squadron to use them that I'm aware of was 412 Sqn, who used them briefly as transports. Interesting.
