Because you asked so nicely,heres some more pix from my Hendon trip


Not something you see every day:a Salamander's backside!

And on the subject of backsides,heres a B25 Mitchell


I'll skip the bad taste jokes and simpily say heres the view UP into the bombaimers position on a Lancaster


The Fairey Battle(just really,what were the Air Ministry thinking?Mind you the Admiralty were worse.'I say,that really awful bomber,the Battle,can you Fairey chaps make us a fighter version?)


Bf110 nightfighter


And you gotta have a 109.A G6 in this instance


As if the He126 wasnt enough heres a Me262


A Meteor


And a Vampire


Gratuitous bit of Spitfire porn


Bristol Beaufighter


A bit more Vulcan porn






Apologies to anyone who expected to see pix of T'Pol.

And for fans of Derek Zoolander,heres Blue Steel


More still to come :ahhh

A 37mm(2pdr) Cannon for fitting to flying boat turrets



57mm(6pdr)cannon fitted to Mosquitos

WOW! That's quite a museum! A Fairey Battle? I'm surprised that they bothered keeping any of them! Very cool pics, thanks again for sharing!

Both the RAF and the FAA used Phantoms,re-engineered to take Rolls Royce Speys instead of the GE J79s(US designations F4M and F4N as far as I can remember)

After the Falklands,several ex US Navy F4Js were bought for use at Port Stanley amongst other places under the designation F4J(UK)

I really enjoyed those photos Kirk. :) Thanks!

Theres still WW1 Stuff to come :pok:

Fantastic mate. :salute:  Another fan of the Phantom's looks here; purposeful rather than ugly I'd say. ;)  I love the looks of those WWII+ jets like the Meteor and the Vampire. :drool:
