Love the staged photo of the spitfire and marshaller standing where the pilot does not have a snowballs chance in hell of the pilot seeing him.

This goes with the Short Sunderland thread that I had posted earlier before. Just found these today. Shows some of the life aboard the flying boat.

Morning Terry, I found this on face book but had never seen this before. Is this correct and if so do you know anything more about it?

Catapult testing using an Avro Manchester at Farnborough (How labeled on Facebook)

Compass rose usually doesn't use long tracks.
