that top picture's fantastic!

It almost looks as though the bloke on the left is holding up a balloon Beaufighter.

A superb shot though, like the others.

Good job Wildcat.

I like the picture of the squadron's motto..."spookus sneakinus"

 

[Matt308]

Well I didn't want to be too nasty now did I

Lanc. First rule of humility is "Never encourage the staff".

And Wildcat, that clip was tragic. A foolish maneauver that was paid for handsomely.

The worse part is those a/c were making a public relations film about Beaufort torpedo bombers. The a/c were filmed making a mock torpedo run and were then to perform a "prince of wales" manoeuvre which ended in the tragic death of 8 men.

Some clips from the movie "Kokoda" for anyone interested. Nothing to do with a/c but this is my thread so I can do what I like

Kokoda looks a good film (the corporal at the end of the first clip had a nasty surprise).

 

[Matt308]

Bloody hell

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i must admit i didn't watch it until now, but that's quite a shocker

 

[Wildcat]
