A Spitfire photo is worth more than a Hurricane photo.

Now if it had German crosses the price would go up ten fold

Iris Berben, great actress- taken long time ago . I love her!
BTW the photo with the two ladies (Ingrid Steeger & Iris Berben) is from a German movie from the 70s called "Zwei himmlische Töchter".

How did they keep that wing cool enough on that cloudless day to keep those legs from burning?

Just pulled it out of a nice cool hangar. Looks like they put some kind of light colored fabric over the black rubber deice boots.

Of course, I'd want to check key items out very thoroughly once they were done. And I'd probably look some at the airplane, too.

It was tried during the war, while the mechanical work/standard of maintenance was excellent the electrical draw from the massed curling irons caused repeated blackouts both on the base but also the surrounding area
