242 squadron hurricane 1
« on: September 12, 2010, 10:11:37 AM »
just trying to get back on track with my skinning

This plane was flown by Willie McKnight who was killed in 1941.

Due to it being a old skin this is as close as we can get to it.Hope you like it,if you want a closer look it can be down loaded from my website and used off line.

Hitler.



L-R:

Eric Ball, Douglas Bader, Willie McKnight.

Out near the Calgary airport there's a road named 'Willie McKnight Boulevard'. Wonder how many kids these days know the significance. 70 years is a long time. Of course, if you'd asked BoB pilots at the time what they thought about the US Civil War they probably would have replied "Strewth, that was seventy-odd years ago old boy"...  ;)

Nice work Rogerdee  :aok One of my favourite Hurris.
