Dear S1 You certainly do have a nice selection of models. The RAF planned to hang bombs on tigers, if things had become desperate and the invasion had actually gone a head. Regards Phil G.

Yes do be proud of your Fathers who have served. My step Father was in the Navy (Korean War) on the Valley forge and Antietam after he passed away I got his books on the ships and a lot of great action shots of Corsairs there. He was also allowed on the bridge and got some really good action shots of the deck.

Dear GrnBrt Just touching on the Korean war. WE have a member in our flying club (The Norwich Model Aero Club (UK)) who was involved in the ground war. He still suffers from nightmares to this day.
These warbird pics are fantastic, it's a shame we don't all live close to one another. We could have the biggest warbird meet ever.
This thread has taken us to several theatres of World War Two. Europe, NTH Africa, the Pacific, Eastern front etc. WE have even been to the Korean conflict. If we drift slightly off of the WW2 fighter course, so what. If it brings with it pics like we have seen on the previous page, who cares.
If you have a story to tell about WW2 or whatever conflict. Then tell it. This thread is everything I hoped it would be. You Chaps are doing a fantastic job.
Regards Phil G.
PS. Below is a Stearman. Primary trainer of WW2, built from the Flair kit. W/s approx 90inches, Motor Zenoah 45cc. Model belonged to Peter Reed, I use to fly it for him Bonus!. It flies beautifully. Has now been sold to another club member. At least it's still in the club.
