Well my family know somebody who was in WW2 and had lived through the era.
He is a very experienced person and has fascinating storys from they old days.
He let me look at his some his photo's from a museum he took about 14 years back, and here are some of them.
He regognises most of them and brings back the memorys.

I thought i'd share some of the photo's we have been looking at, they are really good!..

















Hope you liked them ,and i give a special thanks to the person who provided them me.

Spits!! Very nice Jimbo
That first one looks like an FS edit!!
Cheers,
Ashar

It looks like an edit, but its from an original photo scan!

Nice one Jimbo. I think that must be the BBMF Lancaster. Not sure where it was taken though. The others look like Duxford. MH434 is Ray Hanna's famous Spitfire Mk IX. It looks very different now. http://www.merlinslair.freeserve.co.uk/spit5.htm (Could be Sally B inthe background.)

HA-L is a very rare Fairey Battle. Don't know what happened to it. The only example I've seen is in the Hendon RAF Museum. XP281 is a Beagle-Auster AOP Mk 9.

Charlie or HawkerTempest will tell you the history of the others.

Cheers for the info Doug, much appreciated. ive got many years before i can spot them out like you!
I have some more photo's if you interested in seeing them?

Doug i found out what that Aircraft is, its a

PA474/PM-M, Avro Lancaster I, RAF/BBMF

Years of practice & I'm still learning. Charlie & Tempest are better than me & know all the details. I know what the others are, well to be honest I'm not sure if the one in Russian markings is an Airacobra or Kingcobra. I've only ever seen one P-39

Will get some more posted hopefully today, father now wants to use the pc , they will be up in about two or so.
Cheers
