Hey, the vessel in the last photo with the hull number 530-is it a frigate? If so, what class, and how new is it? It looks' like recent construction.

Yes it is a new class, but its a corvette of the Steregushchy class and not a frigate  :)

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
