Ah, Nutloose,
Fame at last. I'm greatly honoured by mention of my callsign on PPRuNe - and I'm not even dead yet ! Seriously, though - what a feast of photographs. Flicked through them, many I recognise, some I faintly recall, some I don't know and would have to look up. Etienne du Plessis deserves a round of applause.
Those were the days ! How young we all were. It is sobering to think that nearly all there are now dead, and the few survivors not far off. End of an era, I suppose.
Nice to pick out two or three pics of the dear old Vultee Vengeance. Almost completely unknown (in UK) at the time and totally forgotten afterwards, it was my mount in India/Burma from '43 - '46.
Thanks a lot, Nutloose, Regards, Danny42C.
MPN11,
Thanks for the link. Seems I have to join Yahoo to get at the meat. Am very loath to join anything I don't understand. What does it involve ?
Cheers, Danny.
