Hi all, I think my interest was first sparked by a visit to the Imperial War Museum in London. I think it was the first time I'd been close to some of the aircraft that I'd seen in books, etc. It became serious after my first couple of airshow visits. The first was to Old Warden, Beds - a...

Hi, thanks for that. Its an interesting pic, but from my info, it's 202 or 518 squadron machine. The unit codes for 296 are either 9W or 7C. Also, all the Halifax V's I've seen so far have had Merlin engines - I don't know if this apply's to all Mk V's though?? Thanks again though. Cheers, Neil
