Couple of pics I took of the Neptune at the RAF museum at Cosford, near Birmingham, earlier this year. Nice looking plane, - I think this one was in the Dutch navy.

NEPTUNE - Not bad for an aircraft over 65 years old with a bite , punch , speed and if WWII had continued , the sealanes and ports would have been killed by any attempted to continue .

Thanks gents.....Naki, Im looking at an Argus , theres an RCAF guy who's done one, he sent me the files but i lost them, so I'll have to ask if i can have it again....it was never released , just something he did for himself.

@ Connor.....sorry about that winkyy.gif i love those JSDF colours...old and new.
@Scupper...Great pics, thanks for posting.

Sea Bird , The P8 .. its history , The Boeing 737 100/200/300 or should we go back to the Boeing 337 and even further back pre that the then come from the B29 Super, its fuselage dates back even pre Nimrod , it has changed a little but the general structural design is the same , this the 737 will surpass any build for the next many years .
