Fastmongrel, that's a modern photo taken within the last few years. The Hurri in the foreground is Historic Aircraft's Mk.XII based at Duxford and the centre one is LF363, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Hurri.

Oops it can be hard to see when your on a phone I will edit it.

I've always liked this photo. It appears that it was taken from the skylight aft of the bomb bay.

Bristol Bisleys of No. 15 Squadron SAAF attack a Junkers Ju 52 with bombs and machine gun fire after forcing it down in the Western Desert. The Bisleys, escorted by four Bristol Beaufighters of No. 252 Squadron RAF, intercepted the German transport aircraft while returning from a strike on an enemy train. The Beaufighters shot down a Ju 52 and damaged one of the escorting Messerschmitt Bf 110s, while the Bisleys forced down a second Ju 52 and subsequently destroyed it with their bombs. One of the Bisleys was shot down by return fire.

All's good, fastmongrel; it's a cool shot anyways. That Finnish Hurri more than makes up for it

That's awesome info, Chris.

Heres something different a Finnish 109 that seems to have damaged a leg. Normally a crane would be used but obviously nothing was available so an inflatable bag has been used pumped up with a set of hand bellows. I have seen the Fire Brigade use a modern version to lift a lorry that had gone on its side trapping the driver.

Hawker Sea Hurricane Mark I, Z4936 'KE-M', of the Merchant Ship Fighter Unit is lowered onto the training catapult at Speke, Liverpool, for a training launch. At the back of the catapult are some of the firing rockets used to power the launch cradle. March 1942.

It was HJ (Harry) Davidson who made the first launch from a ship in one of them.

Just sayin
