No problem Brain. The Whirlwind is a nice kit and I had my first go at cutting panel lines, using vacuum formed canopies and making my own stands out of oak flooring. Keep up the good work mate.

Hi Brian. Sunray or Ian here. Cracking job and I'm glad to see you put the canopy to good use. Some of the old Airfix kits are little gems if you are willing to put a little effort in. Another good kit to look out for is the Airfix 1/72 Whirlwind Fighter.

Thanks mate for letting me know and I will call it a day then on posting them on the forum.

I think the next batch takes the picture count pass the six hundred mark. I still have loads more to do and the question is. Do you want me to carry on posting them on the forum? If not, that isn't a problem as they will be all going on my Flickr page. But if you want me to carry on posting them here as well that also isn't a problem. If you can let me know? Also I hope they are helping you out as reference shots and giving you display ideas? Anyway here is the latest batch.

Thanks Bob. Here are more photos of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

No problem Bob. Here is the latest batch of Air Show photos.

Thanks Bob. I have had a tour in an and around "Sally B" a few times and when you are in it near the waste guns you realise how thin the fuselage skin is and also how small the bomb bay is compared to the Lancaster. But what I didn't know up until a few month ago is that a Mosquito can carry approximately the same weight of bombs, faster and further than the B-17. I must admit I have a soft spot for the Mosquito because when I was at school there was an airworthy Mosquito based at Hawarden airfield near Chester as it used to fly over my Mum and Dads house. Anyway here are a few more photos.

Thanks Mike. In the next batch of photos is something I have never seen at Duxford and I have been going there for twenty years. And that is The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Avro Lancaster and the B-17G Flying Fortress 'Sally B' flying a display together.

Thanks for all the kind comments chaps. Here is the latest batch. There is an arty one as it was just out of focus and it seemed a shame not to use it.

Thanks Alan. Here are a few photos of Saturday's "Big Wing" flypast. 14 Spitfire's, 3 Hurricane's and the solo Spitfire. The noise was amazing.

Thanks chaps. At the the bottom of everyone of my posts below my name is a link to my Album page one Flickr. Just click on that and then the Battle of Britain Air Show 2023 photo. This takes you to the album page and all the air show photos so far will be displayed. Just click on a photo to view it and all the camera, lens and exposure details for that photo will be displayed under the photo. I hope this helps?

While all the Spitfire's and Hurricane's are forming up to do the "Big Wing" flypasts, a lone Spitfire Mk.XIVe RN201 of The Aircraft Restoration Company, piloted by John Romain MBE does an amazing solo display to entertain the crowd.
