I preferred when Sir Tim had his Mk9/16 with the clipped wings , they look so much more lethal than there eclip counterpart cool.gif

I know I don't generally comment on screenshots, but that is a real winner.

Thanks Rob, I had no idea the Russians used Spits.....that one is from the 26th Air defence group, Leningrad 1945.

Those ruskys used everything even picking up types from the US and flying them around the Aleutian chain , notable the A-20 and P-39s .

Forced me to Google again. That spur of the moment fix, chopping off the wingtips to combat the FW190 roll rate, made the Mark 9 the largest production run of any Spitfire. An excellent shot - jealous of your frames biggrin.gif.

I agree. It's like the difference between putting a poster on your wall with blu-tak and hanging a work of art.

An unframed blank sheet of paper - nothing. Put a frame on it - interesting, what was the artist trying to say?
