A little dig there I see....

What are the cylinders in the first pic? I thought the guy who is crouching was holding a double latte for a second there.

Great pics Paul, thanks.
Interesting to see RAF bomb trolleys in service with the USAAF, and yes, those 'cans' contain the fuses.

Great stuff Paul, and nice, clear quality.
The Spit force landed on the forward air strip in France - can't remember off hand which filed it was.

Is that Warwick badly colourized, faded, or do we have a brown/grey camo scheme?

I agree, either colourised or hand-tinted, most likely the former. I think I have the same shot in the original B&W somewhere.

I think the artist was going for badly faded EDSG/DSG upper surfaces, where the DSG can sometimes take on a brownish tinge.
