Marty at that altitude and track, I would venture that you are indeed Well Lost :lol:
Unless you came from Scott Base maybe?

But what a shot, overhead the FW!
I've never actually opened it from that side myself.
Flying Iron are forgiven for updating a live product...
Brilliant model, I will go fly it immediately

Great shots, SP. The 747 looks stunning.
The 190 in RAFwaffe colours is amazing. I'm sure the groundcrew in 1426 (Enemy Aircraft ) Aircraft Flight spent hours cleaning her. :D

Thanks for looking gentlemen.
Charl, you're correct re the 747...departed McMurdo 8 hours prior.....ok, I didn't ;)

Simon, was 1426 the unit Captain Eric Melrose "Winkle" Brown was posted to ?

SP, after a quick look through Captain Eric Browns book, Wings of the Luftwaffe,I read that he commanded the Enemy Aircraft Flight.
What an amazing man he was.
