I can make short text based on data as given by William Green in 'Warplanes of the Second World War' Vol. three page 123-124 (1961), but you also must have this little red book!!
Just let me know what you want me to do.

The Martin JRM Mars still is the biggest fire bomber in the world and most likely this will remain so!
Here is one of them. It was built in WW-II!!!!

I can recommend Scott Thomson's book 'Dougals Havoc and Boston' from Crowford aviation series. Found it two weeks ago for discount price and it is a fantastic buy!
RAF named it Boston and RAF had very interesting versions including one with a big searchlight in the nose for night fighting.
Attached two interesting shots. I have a large size image of that nice color photo, so if anyone is interested just contact me!

Good news is that all VEB moulds have been acquired by Revell-Germany at Bünde and that by some time they may be re-released. Some ex-VEB kits have already been released by Revell (Tu-95, Be-6!).
I still have Tu-144, Dassault Mercure, Junkers G-24 and Yak-24 and you can still find old VEB kits at Dutch aerojumbles for very decent prices!!

This is a Buchon during an Open Day in original Spanish AF colours and markings from late fifties/early sixties when the type was still operational. It is a shot from that good old black & white period!!!!!!!

Here is a last set of Spitfire images and yes, flight from Rotterdam Airport to Duxford and back again was made in DC-3 PH-PBA from Dutch Dakota Association. They had organized this nice flying day!
More to follow tomorrow on other types present at the static and flown at the airshow.

The show was to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Spitfire, so here they are as displayed at the static line.
You had to pay four pounds extra to visit the static show, but this was money well spent!

Combat Warplanes / Duxford airshow 3 Sep 2011
« on: September 04, 2011, 09:45:58 PM »
I am just back from a visit to the Duxford airhow of 3 Sep 2011.
I have made quite a lot of images and for those interested here are just a few I made.
I don't know if any other Member of our forum has taken also photos at Duxford with much better camera equipment. If so I am looking forward to see these on the Forum.
I am just an amateur using an old Nikon D70S with only a relatively short telelens that is unsuitable for making really good in-flight shots.
I can show more if wanted!!!
