This is probably the longest of long shots, but I'm trying to get hold of a copy of a photograph that appeared in either Aeroplane Monthly or Flypast Magazine a few years ago. It was a double page spread and featured the BBMF's Spitfire Mk II flying over Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland. It was wearing the markings of No 72 Squadron and coded RN-S and sported the name Enniskillen on the forward fuselage. The reason for my request is that the original aircraft was stationed at RAF Acklington, which is, or was about 5 miles from where I live. The annoying thing is that I had the magazine that it was in, but gave it away with all my volumes of both titles to my local Air Cadet centre when we moved six years ago. It was always a picture I wanted to frame and hang on my wall, but always kept putting it off as I tried to avoid my hobby encroaching too far into the house and as my modelling activities were contained within my shed, it never came to fruition. I now have a bespoke model room, which comes with planning permission from the Mistress of the Blue Horizon, to hang the aforementioned picture, if I can locate it. So if anyone has any information regarding the title, year and month, I would be most grateful.

I noticed that FlyPast had an interesting article about the Supermarine Scimitar in their last magazine. Sadly there is no available kit in 1/72... Cheers / André

Hi, Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain there will be a mass flypast of 40 aircraft beginning at midday today. From the website: On 15th September 2015, the 75th anniversary of victory in Battle of Britain, an estimated 40 Spitfires and Hurricanes and Blenheims from across the UK, USA and Europe will come to Goodwood Aerodrome, West Sussex, to take part in an historic flypast over the South of England. The event brings together in one place more Battle of Britain aircraft than at any time since World War Two. Present day aircraft owners, operators, pilots and engineers will congregate to create an event aimed to show those few remaining veterans who fought 75 years ago, and everyone that they stand for and on behalf of, that we, the modern generation, care about the sacrifices they made, that we will not forget them, and ultimately to thank them. http://www.battleofbritainday.co.uk/#!routes/c1px Thanks, Sean
