    Very nice photos!
    I have a real soft spot in my heart for WWII aircraft & the sound of those piston engines -- I live near an airport & regulary see a P-51 (amongst other warbirds) fly over, and once a year a B-17 flys in. My dream is to fly in that bird!

    Excellent pics Alex. During the war my Dad's ship came upon a Sunderland adrift with no crew and no sign of emergency evacuation, I think he also said that tea was set out on the table! His share of the salvage award was like 5 shillings.

    Thanks Alex, what a treat! And would you believe I'm here at work and wearing my RAF tartan kilt too!?

    Thanks especially for the Hurricane picture. My father also flew Texans training pilots after he was rotated home, and he flew Mitchells, training bomber pilots.

    But hey, fess up....I'm pretty sure they have a gift shop at the London RAF museum...any finds there???
