Cool shots! That inverted 880 Sqn. Seafire pic is wicked! Too bad for the pilot and all, but the picture is cool.
That first RCN Seafire pic was my original sig.

The pilot of the inverted Seafire IIC didn't find it wicked, he drowned.

Yeah he doesn't look in good shape. pD did I spot a Stringbag in one of those pics (Seafire IICs.jpg)? I'm pretty sure it is.

That's an Albacore. And NS, I did actually miss that second part. I just found something to attack you with so I went with it.

It is a really good picture.

Side note (in case anyone actually cares): The tribal class destroyer HMCS Haida, which is trailing HMCS Warrior in one of those pics, is now a memorial in Hamilton Ontario Canada, on Lake Ontario.

Shame about the plane? What's wrong with the Walrus? It did the job. In fact, it did a great job!
