Adrian Warburton's MALTA planes in 1/72, Martin 167,Martin Maryland, Bristol Beaufighter PRU, 2 Spitfire


Recommended Posts

These look great, especially the weird and wonderful Maryland.

 

My favourite story about Warby was that he was undertaking a PR mission at low level and was given such a hard time in his PR Spitfire by a particular flak battery that upon returning to base with the aircraft full of holes, he commandeered an armed Spit (a Vb, I think) and flew back to the target just to shoot up the flak battery!  An absolute maverick of a man who died late in the war in pretty unnecessary circumstances.

Thank you very much for your information.
