Hmmmm Hornet, looking good matey

Indeed! Looks like the cover star was up and flying today for the first time in over a year. http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?141202-Duxford-Diary-(2017)&p=2367249#post2367249

There was some banter on comms last night about the Airacobra and how it was received by the RAF and VVS. Co-incidentally, I just came across a thread on the Key forums discussing this very subject, with some interesting quotes from two books I'd not previously heard of. This one made me chuckle: Ted Parks description of the P39/P400 cannon - because it was mounted in the prop shaft - he said... The 37 mm went whump whump whump -When firing the cannon,your legs straddled it,the firing of it vibrated your prostate so the whole essence of war became mildly sexual.I do not know if this was intentional. The 20mm version fired faster and went bababababababa and titillated you in a different way.Some men enjoyed it more.I was a 37mm man myself. Read the thread here, which also includes a superb rare colour image of the aircraft in RAF squadron service: http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?141297-RAF-P-39-service-career

This is also pretty impressive!

Happy New Year Dogz, here's Voodoo going fast and low

Wonderful footage of Mark and Ray Hanna beating up Rochester in the opening minutes there in MkXI PL985 and MkIX MH434 respectively.

I've got a good feeling about this.

S! Jim; gone but never forgotten.

Hmm think we might need a bit more FT

Just like clod ? Yeah I'm excited by this.

I remember watching the VHS's of this that PapaBear recorded back when I were a lad. Good time!

Yeah, it's on my xmas list!

Happy Birthday here too mate

Bit further south old chap, Phuket.

Bang on Arthur! Can you name the city?

Well that's quite a body of work, too much to take in at 11pm but I've bookmarked for later reading mate! Enjoy your Lebanese adventure

Correct! (I'm 99% certain). It took me a while to figure out what this actually/probably was, after having taken the photo almost a year ago whilst on holiday. I was having lunch in a cafe and my eagle eyes spotted this hanging on the wall. Any guesses where I was and what air force this flew with? Over to you Mr. F. Trottel.

I shall reveal more later

Oh it is/was an airworthy aircraft.

Nope
