All that matters is it's got TEETH.

It was a RAF Hurricane, I'm guessing captured by the Luftwaffe in either North Africa or Italy, then re-captured by the USAAF. So it's possibly had RAF roundels (as seen part overpainted under the wings), Luftwaffe black crosses, and then US 'Stars and Bars'!!
Now there's one for the "Aircraft in Foreign Service" GB !

Ok...gotcha...the "blacked out" roundel looked like a "meatball" for a second, there...

And you guys are still not looking closely enough at the Hurricane! There is something very different about it.

And so, this is a two-seater Hurricane??

She's a Hungarian Air Force Aero L-39C Albatross Dave, now retired and displayed at the Air Force Museum at Szolnok Air Base.

Great additions, Glenn and Karl.

Pretty cool guys!

A handsome beastie from my local airfield.

Three of these flew together at Warbirds over Wanaka in 2006; the first time three P-40s had been seen in the air in NZ since just after the war.

For some reason that first one reminds me of a Chihuahua

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Mar 24, 2012

LMAO!!!! Good one Glenn, and the F-4 looks real good with the shark's teeth. Nuuumannn, what craft is that in the first shot of your post? Just curious.

nuuumannn · Mar 24, 2012

The Kiwi Ki-3 Chihuahua. Locally manufactured top dressing type.

Airframes · Mar 24, 2012

Nice! That Ki-3 looks a bit like an under-weight Macclesfield Hippocroccofrog ! But, being an aeroplane,is certainly more attractive !!

nuuumannn · Mar 24, 2012

Sorry guys, just had to.

It's a Fletcher Fu-24 modified with a Walter turbine, built here by Pacific Aerospace, nee New Zealand Aerospace Industries, nee Aero Engine Services Limited. The Fletcher was one of John Thorp's; he of the Piper light singles. The Fletcher shares the all flying tailplane with them. I read he was also partly responsible for the P2V Neptune.

We had some of our own back in the days...

T Bolt · Mar 26, 2012

Nice ones Igor

I forgot I had this one. Scanned form an old Polaroid from the mid 70s'

DBII · Apr 4, 2012

Here are some on mine. I will post a couple of more later, I deleted the P38 and a P40 by mistake . These are digital pictures of my photos so they are not clear.

I found the rest. The P38 is one of my first warbird photo. It was taken with a Kodac instmatic, 126 film, in the mid 1970's. I last used the camera in 1984 during my officer basic course. I did not want to damage my SLR. I lost the camera in a house fire in 1991.
