It was great to meet up with the guys again, had a great day, planes, sunshine and great banter, what more can a man ask for.....even had a pretty singer blowing me a kiss and lusting after me and not Sid standing dirctly behine me in her line of sight...it was me honest...
So the away team has successfully returned to the Enterprise (we all had names so that was OK).
Thanks to Painless, Sid, Crash, Fenrir, Blubear, Friar, Gec, Ivan and Tanja for providing excellent company for a weekend of aeroplane geekery. And to the hot German girl in the breakfast room at the hotel yesterday for the eye candy - down boy.
Thanks fellas

The shortlegged one is Painless... or did he just sink a bit?
I found some information about CR.42 on an airplane forum I am a member of.
"Had it not been for parts picked from worn out J 11's this would not have been possible. This Fiat CR42 carries the English registration G-CBLS and the production number is 920. That airplane was delivered to the Swedish Air Force in May 1941, then became J 11 with FV No. 2542. Used by F 9 and arrived already April 13 the following year lost at an accident at Tårdnatjako in Lapland."
