The picture second down on the right side is a Spitfire Mk XIV.  Top left appears to be a PR Spit, note the different chin for greater oil capacity.

Also, the Spitfire data on the right column is for a Spitfire Mk XIV.

I knew some yahoo would get technical on me.  You'll also notice some are not from the correct time period or in the right colors for Tunisia.  I had to get enough pics, of the right composition and clarity, so I wasn't too picky.  It's still a spit.  Get over it.   :D

I would like to fly the spitfire, but there were no more slots open, so I registered for the Hurri...

I'd like to be reassigned if possible :aok

Hey were we just talking about JE-J in our Mess Hall. That was the plane modified to carry beer kegs shortly after D-day. What a delivery service!

I wanted to fly the spitfire but due to problems getting registered all slots were filled when I was finally able to register; so I registered for the P40e, which was the only fighter available, and which I have never flown.  If possible, I would like a transfer to a spitfire squad.   :salute

FYI to everyone.  Remember that when you register you are selecting a preference only.  Nothing is set in stone, though the C.O.'s try very are to get everyone into what they want.  You can request a transfer when you get access (after registering) to the Allied Tunisia forum.

Further, go ahead and register for a ride you might not want as much so as to fill all available slots.  If this happens and there are more people wanting to play, the powers-that-be often increase the number of squadrons and rides to accomodate, so you may get your preferred ride that way.  No guarantee, but it does happen.

And still further, if you show your face for another scenario after this one, and you didn't get the C.O. killed in battle or something like that, you'll know how scenarios play out and might get a better chance at your preferred ride next time.  Actually, you'll probably know to register earlier by then.   :aok

65 squadron flying P51C's at the same time as JEJ had the drop tanks modified (inside coating) to carry ale. One carried dark ale, one carried bitter. So, a lot more beer in each run.
Both parties claim to have had the merriest mess tent on the front, and as far as I know they never knew about each other.
I put my money on 65 sqn since they carried a lot more in each run. The job was unpopular though, since landing with full DT's was a wee tricky, and if the pilot made a rough bounce and spilled the ale, he was in for a load of trouble....
