I had a quick look at at the Imperial War Museums Photo Collection and the caption against the photo is:- “Fleet Air Arm Chance-Vought Corsair fighters, with Fairey Barracuda torpedo bombers behind, ranged on the flight deck of HMS FORMIDABLE, off Norway.” Here is another shot from the same sequence https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205156619 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely. CC Did a couple of Tungsten Hellcats myself. SLt Ritchie’s aircraft to the fore with LtCdr Orr’s aircraft behind. Ritchie shot down a FW190 using this aircraft (subject to debate) and shared an He115 with Orr who was flying the aircraft behind.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hello Dears !! Toying with the Corsairs 1's internals !! Here's a question for my friend @Grey Beema.. I have an article from Telegraph, an obituary for the late Ronnie Hay It is said that he bagged a victory in Norway, Flying a Roc... But the only victory of a Roc is not recorded to Ronnie Hay in other website. I used to think that he did flew Skuas in Norway and over Dunkirk... Not a Roc... What do you think about ? I thank you beforehand More to come soon !! Sincerely. CC 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom216 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 One buzy bench! And I just love Pin-Up style art. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thank you beforehand More to come soon !! Sincerely. CC This is what I have on Ronnie Hay:- Although the official record shows Hay had 4 confirmed destroyed the info I have shows 5 but I think that’s my mistake and I need to go back and do some more research, I think he had more shared claims in ‘45. He didn’t make a claim in a Roc as far as I know. @iang probably has far better info than I. NAS 801 HMS Ark Royal Norway 4.40. 27.04.40 He111 Shared Destroyed. Blackburn Skua II (Serial Unknown) A7P 808 NAS HMS Ark Royal Mediterranean Dec 40-Nov 41. 08.05.41 SM79 Destroyed. Fairey Fulmar (Unknown) 10.44. Operations over Sumatra & Nicobar Islands. Vought Corsair II JT427/RH. Figure 10 Vought Corsair II JT427/RH, 47th Naval Fighter Wing, HMS Victorious, Oct 44 24.01.45 Ki-43 'Oscar' Destroyed, Ki-44 'Tojo' Destroyed.

CC I haven’t seen an EDSG/Sky Corsair and don’t know the logic of it not being TSS (DSG/EDSG/Sky) a photo would be nice. I think ‘T’ was an HMS Victorious ID letter as 1836 NAS would have carried it when on board Victorious. I obviously need to go and do more research.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Beema Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Bit more of a look at Sturtivant - Fleet Air Arm Aircraft 1939 to 1945 couple of updates to what I wrote. 24.01.45 Ki-43 'Oscar' Destroyed, Ki-44 'Tojo' Destroyed. Vought Corsair II JT427/T*RH 29.01.45 Ki-43 'Oscar' Shared Destroyed, Ki-44 'Tojo' Shared Destroyed. Vought Corsair II JT/427/T*RH I have not see a photo of JT427 with T*RH but I did find a 1/72 set of Meridian decals which show T*RH. Just remember @Troy Smith tag line about finding a photograph. https://www.aviationmegastore.com/forgotten-operations---meridian-1945-dpc72023-dp-casper-decals-dpc72023-aircraft-scale-modelling-decals/product/?action=prodinfo&art=120025 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Hello Dears !! Let's start with another old add for the Corsair !! I love it !! I don't like the transfer decals for the dashboard, so, here's the way I do when I did'nt use PE parts... one clock at a time, I'll show you the difference on a future post !! Have a great week End !! Modelling or not !! Sincerely. CC 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
