Nice one Sean , I was lucky enough to see the one NZ AC fly back in 1996 .. with a humorous Simon Spencer Bower

[Splitpin]

Nice shot. Just finished reading Greg Boyington's book. Some interesting insights into flying against Jap aircraft there.

That is weird , a lot off re-newd interest regard to Greg Boyington and the 'Black Sheep' squadron , I did have a book , brand new .. Gave it to a mate who then lent it out ... did not even get a chance to really read it , but over the years read about the guy in other reads .. a real swash buckling type who puts up with no bullshit.!

Yeh mate, wasn't quite as the TV series portrayed but he certainly had his own way of doing things

They repeated many scenes .. but that was the typical 1980s thing with TV series , would be an ideal TV mini series based along the 'Band of Brothers'.

Having said that, it was cool to see that many Corsairs flying together.

Without a Doubt Brussel Sprout , I think the best part was the show run pre-intro 1994/5 off the Birdcage Corsair ... it really added and finished me off.
