I though for a moment you had a "rocking" Mustang there...

...it looks very much like Dave Gilmour's* old example, but isn't! Grin

I'll probably get ridiculed for this question, but what is the aircraft in the first shot? I recognize it but I can't place it. Its a really nice photo though.

I also really like the Mustang pic!

Gosh, I think the light reflecting off the fuselage made it look bigger than that...but now that I think about it it is obvious. I have never seen one in that livery before though...but I love the pre-war symbols and polished exterior. Although, since it is a military variant...wouldn't it technically be a C-47?

More to the point, can you recognise #2?

Looks like a grown up twin engined Mmmmmiles Messenger... Grin

Certainly a Messengeresque colour scheme.

A bit of a Beech to identify though...
