Hallo. Har ikke sett denne gruppebygge posten før nå. Her er en gammel og ikke korrekt er jeg redd, profil av en PR Mk. IV. I Spitfire jungelen er det lett å gå seg bort, men jeg finner ikke noe som tyder på at PR Mk. IV hadde "kulen" under nesen. "Kulen" var egentlig oljetanken som var større enn normalt, og den eneste veien den kunne gjøres større var nedover. Den trengte nok ikke større tank under nesen fordi PR Mk. IV hadde oljetank(er?) i vinge(ne?). I vingenes forkanter var det fuel tanker. Spitfire-bibelen fra Key Publishing gir ikke noen god beskrivelse av hvordan det var på produksjonseriene av Mk.IV.

Hello Pat. Nice to hear that you are interested in FAA aircraft operating over and around Norway during WWII. I see that my friend Kjetil refer to me regarding Fulmars. I do have several serial numbers, but these are not tied up with squadron codes or any other markings. I'm working on it though. We'll se what the future might bring These days I am rather busey with the real thing. This is Lieutenant Commander John Casson and Lieutenant Peter Fanshaws Skua, L2896 'A' breaking the surface for the first time since 1940. Recovered from approx 800 feet on 9 April this year. They crash landed in the mouth of Orkdalsfiord on 13 June 1940, after taking many hits from a German Bf 11o during the ill fated attack on the German battle cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau in Trondheim harbour. Above is parts of the serial number. As is below. Below is the marking on the fin. Green Flight, 'A' is the sdquadron commanders aircraft. In the picture below, the serial number is written with a pencil on the back of the pilots seat. And the two camouflage colours, Dark Slate Grey and Extra Dark Sea Grey. Both seems to have faded after severals month of use and abuse, and then 68 years in sea water. Right no, I'm meassuring up as much as possible of the airframe and making sketches and drawings. At least we will have a deasent drawing of the Skua. It's much work but I enjoy every second of it. Any way. If there is any specific question you might have, feel free to fire away. Regards, Bengt

Nydelig Ferrari! Nydelig.............. Bengt

Ooooojjjjjj! Hvor mye for dekalarket? Hvor mye, mann!!?? Trenger noen eksemplarer i Bodø! Hviken skalaer? 1/72 og 1/48? Ser da bra ut, også! Flott arbeide osv! bengt, som går glipp av mye.

Heyyyy! Min yndlings formel-1 bil! Skal du lage den som nr. 27 eller 28? Nr. 27! Gilles Villeneuve! Den råeste sjaføren noen sinne! Bare rått! Skulle ønske den var å få i større skala. Vroooooom! (eller rettere sakt.....vhiiiiiiiiiiin!) Bengt
