Hi, I started work on Gloster Gamecock (Broplan) intedning to do a machine in Finnish colours from Winter War. In Wiki and few other sources I have found an interesting story: "During the Finnish Winter War 1939–40, a Gamecock was used to capture a Soviet Ilyushin DB-3 bomber. On 29 January 1940 the Finnish Gamecock strafed two Soviet DB-3s when they landed on Finnish soil* (which they mistook for Estonia) to transfer fuel from one plane to the other. The strafed crews hurried into the one plane which had enough fuel remaining and escaped, leaving the DB-3 behind to be captured by the Finns." * actually it was not "soil" but frozen lake in Hauho, Southern Finland, I would like to do this particluary machine if possible - so my ask is - anybody know any more details on this? Who was the pilot? What number the machine weared? Was it on ski (I think so, but?)... The details on DB 3 are better known (Red 15 , s/n 392320),. http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/db3-il4/tapanidb3/db-11story.htm Any help will be appreciated Regards J-W
