Guppy:  Hehe, BUSTED!   :P  Just too many examples of Canuck Spits defaced with nose art... now all I need is a bubble hood for the Spit XVI and XIV, a Vokes filter for the V, an E wing for the IX and I can do the whole book - and don't forget 'Spitfire II'.  :cool:  Trying to inject as much Canuck content as I can  :D  When I work up the courage I'm going to try a 6 Group Lanc from 419 RCAF - the one with the shark mouths on the engines.

P.S. Picked up a new copy of SPITFIRE The History for 65 bucks.  When I'm not reading it I use it to kill small animals by dropping it on them.

P.P.S. We need a Mk XII in this game  :aok

I just watched Passendaele and WOW. I'm really in the Canadian mood.

Great skin!

I agree on the XII :)

The pride of my collection is the logbook of an RCAF Spit pilot who started with 416, flew CAM Hurris, then Spit XIIs with 41 and 91 before XIVs with 91, before finishing on IXs with 91.  First Operational flight December 41, last Operational flight August 44 before returning to Cananda.

I'd like his XII :)
