Battle of Britain 'Bits Box'.

[Wurger]

Nice stuff here.

Thanks Wojtek! I've just remembered - I missed off one small unit, at the end. The list should include the F.I.U. (Fighter Interception Unit), equipped with Blenheims, for trials and development with A.I. (Airborne Interception), later known as RADAR.

Brilliant Terry! Have a Gladiator in the stash, and for BoB wasn't sure if they participated! Not many did but I can build one, nice ! They didn't claim kills but it still works, right?

 

[Airframes]

Yep, and I should have soem info on colour schemes and markings somewhere. I'm working on the next part now, for Luftwaffe units in the BoB. It's taking a lot longer than I thought to get everything together in a meaningful fashion!

Great stuff Terry! BoB is my favourite subject matter so I will be glued to this thread.
Cheers,
Tony.

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Tony. I'd hoped to have a lot more posted by now, but it's getting there - slowly!

 

[Lucky13]

Do you think/hope that you'll find some suitable subjects for a Wildcat or two, for your builds in this GB old boy?? I know that you've been looking for that, the last 15 years.....

Great reference Terry

Greetings from Williamsburg Virginia. Lot of good information going on in this thread. It's a good thing because I have yet to decide on what to build for this GB. Keep the information flowing everyone.

 

[Airframes]

I see Jan is pushing his luck again! There were actually a few Royal Navy Martletts 'officially' in the BoB, right at the end, for one week.

 

[Lucky13]

There's no excuse then old boy.....that or go out on a date with a local Hippocroccofrog.

 

[Airframes]

Can't do either. No way am i going near a Hippocroccofrog, and the Doctor has warned me that model aircraft which resemble them would be very bad for my arthritis, and could cause a period of extreme drunkeness !!

Beerglasses won't do any good old boy!

Here's PART TWO of the 'Bits Box', covering Luftwaffe aircraft inolved in the Battle.
The next part will cover Luftwaffe units.
EDIT: Addendum, there is a typo under the heading for the Dornier Do17.
The entry for the Do17 F-1 should read Do17 P-1.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Once again I come in late here having just found this thread, this is seriously good stuff Terry. How the hell you find time to do all this and model as well, I will never know but thanks a bunch anyway.

 

[Airframes]

Er....it's called 'lack of sleep' Vic, and you're welcome mate.

Good stuff Terry!
