  1. I think the confusion might be a mix up with an earlier MBT LZ293, which had the earlier scheme and without D-Day stripes. Photos of this bird also have the black appearing engine rings.
  2. Interested in the B24 and Beaufort for me. I am even tempted by the P1127 even though it is an ancient tool.
  3. The only reference I could find was in Norman Franks' Fighter Commands Air War 1941. Essentially a Gudgeon operation was a Circus but with fighters from 10 Group. I gather the parlance was dropped in favour of a dedicated Circus number as things got more co-ordinated. This was early days for fighter command and its organisation of fighter sweeps over France. There was quite a lot of changes in organisation and tactics as things developed. Does this fit in with your question about 316 squadron?
  4. If theres a 1/72 Stitfire XVI then I won't be moaning.
  5. 1/72 Westland Whirlwind New tool. 1/72 Avro Manchester 1/72 Halifax Bi - The Revell ones are like rocking horse whatnot.
  6. Rolls Royce Hucknall used an Hawker Henley as a test bed for the Griffon II. Are you thinking of thank aircraft?
  7. Jan Zurakowski described the MB-5 as the best aircraft he had ever flown. The trouble was by that time there were other types that had just as good performance that were already in production. I would love to see a model of a MB-5 Dave, is that next?
  8. This one https://www.key.aero/forum/historic-aviation
  9. I have always liked the photo of 11sqn 'Hellzapoppin' Hurri. Does anyone do decals for that one?
  10. No one The OP was talking about using the Mk.XVII kit to make a Mk.XIX(J30) I just asked what the difference between the two was. 🙄
  11. I thought the J30 was a mk XIX with a four blade prop not a mk XVII. What was the difference between the two?
  12. I was quite shocked to see this on the BBC this morning.
  13. Looking around on the net on this subject I found and example of a pilot doing 14 ops in 26 days. I suppose on Maximum effort periods the aircraft few every night until unservicable, though not necessarily with the same crew.
  14. RCM is Radio CounterMeasures . The Halifaxes would have been part of 100 Group involved in jamming operations of radio frequencies used for fighter direction. Search for AirbourneCigar (Usually referred to as ABC), or Jostle.
