Enforcer57 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 :shock: Wow!!! Seafires and a sunderland. A rare shot of RAF jugs. A little attention in photoshop would help the damage....ill see what i can do. These are priceless. Thanks for helping preserve such for future reference. God knows how many pix are laying around or even discared accidentally. The seafire on the lighter is interesting. and the crane lifting one...wow. of course, i dont see a tail hook, so those could be RAF spits...look at the camo job. I wonder what the colors are.....I dont think that's grey and green. dunno. and that transport....isnt that a viscount? I dont have my ref books handy. where all did he serve? if you have any info like that, we would all be fascinated to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beebop-RIP Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 OK, I'm back. Yes, it can be done. Real Life: FMB Replica: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo.Pepper Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 and that transport....isnt that a viscount? I think the transport is in fact a C-54. Little round windows along the fuselage match the C-54 from here... http://www.photovault.com/Link/Military ... FV09P13_05 Great pictures, very kind of you to share. ------ WAY COOL Beebop! can you also rig it with a Spitfire/Seafire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted June 27, 2006 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 thanks for the nice comments guys. there are loads more in the box. not any more planes though. the others are mainly scenery shots, although there are a few of heroshima (spell?) after the bomb. is it ok to post them like i did or would individual pics be better?
