canberra kid Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 In September 1939 during the "phony war" Sidney Cotton flew his own modified Lockheed 12 on a covert photo reconnaissance mission over German ports at the request of one Ian Fleming of the Admiralty.

JWM Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Hi, Very nice bulid. One historical correction about the time. The spy missions of S.Cotton was before the outbreak of WWII, not in September 1939 during phoney war, but earlier - as wiki says, for instance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidney_Cotton Cheers J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
