Thanks for that

Hello from left field, I am trying to assemble some background information on non-flying aspect of life on some of the larger bases that had better infrastructures and were probably pre-war stations. Interior photos, plans, maps or layouts showing hangars, administration, Station Commanders...

Thanks for the info. I think it was a head on collision with a KG77 Ju 88 just north of Malta. Allan

Any photos or other references to this Spitfire about/during this time period ?? Was probably wearing someone else's Codes or had had them painted over. Thanks, Allan

Thanks Massimo, Very useful and detailed. I am grateful for your efforts. Allan

Thanks for looking. Not many photos of the underside taken from below with the gear raised. Allan

Where are the fired case ejection chutes for the cowling guns or are the fired cases collected and emptied back on the ground. I presume the wing gun cases are ejected in air. Thanks Allan

Lloyd Trigg VC's GR V at the Willow Run end of my bench.

It was a Legato resin kit that sat unloved and unfinished for years, probably the 12 years you pointed out. A resin kit was probably not the thing to make your modelling comeback with.......a bad workman etc. Anyway, I finished it and on to the next thing. I'm siting in the Cafe at the Air...

Yes quite. Apologies to Frank Fray about getting his name wrong. The pics you attached were helpful. My 48th Spit XI is now finished and hanging up with the others Thanks again Allan

Yep... I’m quick like that. Thanks for the response. Have just returned to scale modeling after a long break hence the resurgence of interest...and I remembered my password. Thanks for the picks. Allan

can anyone help with the identification this main undercvarriage wheel. Thought to be a 1920s vintage aircraft used in New Zealand
