Nice Spit Sunny...
Some information about Polish Fighting Team:
Towards the end of 1942 Polish Air Force HQ asked RAF for an opportunity to send a group of pilots to the North African front in order to get "hands on" practice in operating as a part of tactical air force. That, of course, was a preparation for the tasks, awaiting them during inevitable Allied landing on European continent .
Call for experienced (at least 30 missions) pilots was a popular one, with about 70 volunteers coming forward. 15 pilots were chosen, with a plan for personnel rotation every 3 months.
After initial preparations in West Kirby RAF base, they embarked on an Atlantic convoy, arriving in Africa in March 1943. The unit was assigned as a "C" Flight to # 145 Squadron RAF, operating from Bu Ghara .
High effectiveness and style very quickly earned them a "Skalski's Circus" nickname. Between 28th of March and 6th of May PFT shot down 25, probably 3 and damaged 9 enemy planes. German Army in Africa surrendered on 13th of May and PFT was disbanded. Three of the pilots stayed on as a flight / squadron leaders in various RAF units.

We have a logging company near us that still uses two Matador Trucks. They are displayed at Military shows etc but he does use them for real work between shows.
They are of course strong trucks capable of carrying a load, but speed isn't thier best feature. The entrance to his yard is half way up a very steep hill and you don't want to get stuck behind them.

[Gnomey]

The big ones are fine for me, but it is probably best to reduce them. Good pics though!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yes they are fantastic, very rare to see the captured -190s in RAF markings...........

 

[Wurger]

Good stuf.
Unfortunately,the last ten pics are not visible.The red "X's" are only showed.I don't know why.
The smoller pics are displayed faster than bigger.Besides the bigger ones are only visible partially.
