Title: 242 squadron hurricane 1
Post by: rogerdee 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.

Shadow partially obscures it, what is the boot kicking under the exhaust pipes?

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.
