Lol, yep, it was hell being shot down by my GL more than the enemy  :lol

Waiting to find out whether we're having a squad commitment, will then be registering (when its open etc)

Brooke, your a bad man too (in the nicest possible way). Hope you and yours are doing well my friend.

I'm not bad, my FW 190 is just painted that way.  ;)

Doing well (other than sleep lately), but very happy nonetheless.  Thank you, and please convey Traci and my regards to Mrs. Wurz!  :aok

A picture of the Bf 109G-2 from the RAF Museum, London.  (Brooke and SF3 indicating thusly, where I met Wurz as well -- was awesome.)

Note Mossie behind the G-2 in firing range.  Don't get any ideas Mossie pilots -- in Enemy Coast Ahead, it will be the other way around!  :aok

Also -- here is the last Typhoon in existence in the world (also at RAF Museum, London).  A lovely, marvelous airplane.  But I will show it no mercy in my FW 190A-5.

And a picture with Wurzel in it (on the right), so that he doesn't feel left out.  It does have a Spitfire in it -- it's a Mk. I, but I hear that the Mk. I was the only true Spitfire, with Mk IX's especially being abominations of the true Spitfire essence.

Clearly you don't get it Brooke.  You get in Spitfires, not stand in front of em...although you are in front of the guns, which might be appropriate after all :)

Is that really you in one?  If so, I am envious.  Very cool!  We, your readers, demand to hear the story of how you got to sit in one!  :aok

In this scenario, though, I definitely will be working to see only the back of them. :)

Any excuse to post these photos.  usually around once a year here :)  Spit XII research was my first venture into the WW2 history bit beyond just reading.  Spent much of the 80s tracking down pilots and info in those take forever, snail mail days.  Part of the result was helping to get together the first reunion of 41 Squadron at RAF Colitishall in 1985.  I got to meet many of my Spit XII fighter pilot hero's.  Yeah the real deal :)  The Battle of Britain Flight flew in their B of B vet Spitfire II that was painted in 41 squadron markings.  Lots of photos taken of the old Spit drivers around the Mk II.  Two of them then approached the pilot, and said they'd like me to be able to get in the cockpit.  The B of B Flight pilot obliged and I got in.  Later the group photo was taken of all the old Spit drivers and I was asked to be in the picture.  The only non WW2 Spit pilot in the group.  Yeah just a bit proud.  Outside of my wife and kids, the accomplishment I am most proud of.  Sadly most of them are gone now.

Yeah I have a Spitfire bias :)
