Hey boys, I am home, briefly. I will do my best to post again tomorrow before I walk out the door at 04:30 to begin my 14 hour drive north to see my oldest son and my brother......and do some fishing for a few days.

Ex-RNZAF P-40, nice scheme, but the light blue of the roundels is something of a perpetuated legend. The light blue was the original darker shade of blue that had faded in the Pacific sun, but it's become a thing to paint RNZAF Pacific roundels in light blue. Decal companies don't help either.
That first shot is a beaut, with the cloud background. At first view, I thought that was a huge rear-view mirror atop the windscreen, then realised it's a helmet !!
