The Johnny Johnston Special ... met that chap in Wanaka

That's more like it Marty!!

That's my favourite RealAir skin ... when I'm not blowing up in the A2A one, that is!!

@Ian - how old was JEJ we you met him? I met him at an air show at Fairford ... and he was pretty frail then .. in a wheelchair

... but still full of spirit.

Thanks Bra guy (you thought I'd forgotten

)

Johnston's book "wing leader is a great read, Ive got an old 1956 copy of it.....must have read it about a dozwn times over the years.

Re the shots, Ive been given a great book called "spitfire flying legend" and a lot of the shots....which are all stunning, are in flight , but up close. ...those inspired me a little, working on some more for later.

Very sure it was the 1994 show but could have been 1992 , at the Space Shuttle display and he was not wheelchair bound at that stage , funny told him he should have visited my brother during his build of the 3/4 scale Spitfire for a birdman rally 1989 the UK , he recalled the event and said half reason had to return to NZ to find out what made us so plane nuts .

Im presently building a very large RC spit of that exact same model and paint scheme. How random.

Every view of the Spit seems to be a 'classic spitfire angle'

Nice

Thanks Naki.... was lucky, i was house sitting for some friends and they gave me the book as a thankyou....but....it was some of your shots, like the A-10 you did a while ago that really got me thinking about not having to see the whole aircraft in a screen.
PS:
i didnt make it to the post shop today...but I'll do it in the morning.
