Etienne is a member here, and I have been linking to his flickr on may occasions!

the search on flickr is now pants, but I saved a link for Spitfires

https://www.flickr.com/search/?w=8270787@N07&q=spitfire

if you use this, and replace the end search with whatever key word(s)

eg Hurricane

https://www.flickr.com/search/?w=8270787@N07&q=hurricane

Lancaster

https://www.flickr.com/search/?w=8270787@N07&q=lancaster

you get all the photos tagged with this. saves a lot of ploughing through.

Great resource and thanks to Etienne for doing this.

Worth looking through these photos, great for getting weathering ideas, faded paint etc.

The one of the Sunderland is excellent. There are certainly a large number of images I have not seen before.

Outstanding! Thanks for providing them! Some pretty neat ideas for future projects, that's for sure. Bonus point, Bristol Boy!

That's a fantastic set of photographs. There's an interesting sot of a Hotspur glider that may interest Tony O'Toole.

Eh?,.......whats that Chris!! Eye I`ll be doing all of the assault gliders,.....some day.... especially that Pegasus one!! In fact I`m just finishing a Whitley with a Pegasus badge on the nose too.

Cheers

A lot of very interesting photos, some of them I've seen first time. Perhaps the most surprising is that one on page 3 showing very interesing Anson trainer with non typical yellow spots on top (some cowling bulbs are yellow for instance...).

That no one would guess from BW shot.

Cheers

Hi Chris

do you happen to frequent the PPrune Military forum? I have lurked there for years and saw a thread there yesterday linking to Etienne's Flickr stream and followed it to the front page - the next two hours were a blur of stunning images and modelling possibilities.

I had seen individual images from this stream following many of Troy's links but never actually viewed the whole lot - so glad I have now!

Cheers
