It's a Bolingbroke!:biggrin-new:
John Cruickshank, the only surviving World War 2 and RAF Victoria Cross holder celebrated his 98th Birthday yesterday.:applause::applause::applause:

53 Squadron flew Hudson IIIs and Vs from Quonset Point between 30th July and 12th August 1942.
They were fitted with ASV and received the EDSG/DSG/White Scheme prior to leaving the UK.

Fantastic job.:applause::applause:
Cruickshank VC skin please!
What a treasure trove. I do have a small collection of them, covering a lot of the 'Usual suspects', but it's great to know they're accessible online.
Another Tour de Force gentlemen. Bravo!
Give 'em hell Kelti, between us we've got your six well covered.
Now, he says hoping not to put the cat amongst the pigeons, do we have a series of proper two-stage Merlin Mossies (IX,XVI,XXX)?
Yes, but not in Europe. MkIIds and MkIV (RP) were used briefly before the Typhoon took over as the RAF's principal ground-attack aircraft
Jabo variants of the Bf109 and Fw190 were used for 'tip...
13 feet! With that stonking great windmill on the front she's asking to be run over by the boat. I honestly don't know if an extra ten feet on the take-off run will help.

Another top notch update sir.:applause:
True craftmanship Captain.
Although there is a thread already in Newshawks I felt we of 'The Basement' should have our own.
Without a doubt the test piloting skills of this great man, whether in the cockpit of a captured...

I wonder what he'll make of his new set of wings?

You can definitely see the influence of the Empire Class 'C' flying boat and Sunderland on the 'Emily'.
Another great original uplifted to the heights of todays expectations. :applause:
It says a...
Yet again you've proven what a master of the art you are John. Many thanks.:encouragement:
I'm sure there was a CFS2 version of the Alpha Boston III. Captain Kurt did the CFS2 A-20A, B and C based upon it IIRC.
Is there a specific reason/significance to the aileron markings? I was just thinking about how even a small amount of extra paint can affect trim and balance on control surfaces.
It's heartening to come in and see that things have leapt dramatically in the last few days.
The two RAF Do17Ks were those used to fly the Yugoslav gold out of the country to Egypt on 19th April 1941. They were alloted the serials AX706 and AX707, although I don't know if they were applied....
"Just one more" :) You'll have another one for us before the year is out ;)
Another masterpiece guv'nor
