Well my family know somebody who was in WW2 and had lived through the era.
He is a very experienced person and has fascinating storys from they old days.
He let me look at his some his photo's from a museum he took about 14 years back, and here are some of them.
He regognises most of them and brings back the memorys.

I thought i'd share some of the photo's we have been looking at, they are really good!..

Nice one Jimbo. I think that must be the BBMF Lancaster. Not sure where it was taken though. The others look like Duxford. MH434 is Ray Hanna's famous Spitfire Mk IX. It looks very different now. http://www.merlinslair.freeserve.co.uk/spit5.htm (Could be Sally B inthe background.)

HA-L is a very rare Fairey Battle. Don't know what happened to it. The only example I've seen is in the Hendon RAF Museum. XP281 is a Beagle-Auster AOP Mk 9.

Charlie or HawkerTempest will tell you the history of the others.

Years of practice & I'm still learning. Wink Charlie & Tempest are better than me & know all the details. I know what the others are, well to be honest I'm not sure if the one in Russian markings is an Airacobra or Kingcobra. I've only ever seen one P-39  in the air, last month as a matter of fact.

Ah, that is the BBMF Lanc. PA474. It's in different markings now. http://www.raf.mod.uk/bbmf/bomber.html

No it's only against the rules if you link the actual image so it appears in your post.

PS. Yes, please post some more.

That's a P-63 Kingcobra, The Fighter Collection's first, which was lost in a fatal crash in the early 90s killing John Larcombe returning from Le Ferte Alais. Sadly their second P-63 was lost too at Biggin Hill in 2001...

Interestingly, I believe both the P-40 and Corsair (behind the Kingcobra) now live in the US. Can't ident the Dakota, but the Lanc would have been taken sometime between 1988 to 1993 I think.

Nice shots Jimbo! Grin
