Andy, I just noticed in post 131 on the first picture that the last plane had a lighting bolt on it. Any idea what it represents?

Thanks Paul

Some great shots there Paul!! I'd like to know some more info on the P-40 with the large blonde face on it. The lightning bolt was painted on 76 squadrons tail fins late in the war, check out my Mustang in the current GB with the same marking. The last pic shows Geoff Atherton in his Cleopatra III and the man climbing into the cockpit with the kill markings is John Waddy, both famous Aussie aces.

Thanks Andy for the info, honestly I don't know much about the blonde, I found it today and the only info I found was that it supposedly came from this link for facebook though I have not found it yet there yet.
