Open letter to Clark and others involved in the yEnc posts earlier
I have been way too to do anything but lurk from a far the past few days. I
too am thinking about Oshkosh for next year. What would be cool is if the NG's regular shooters could have some sort of get together at the event. In the not too distant future I will do a repost from my visit to Oshkosh a couple of years ago. Attached is an image from an on going project of mine at Washington Dulles Airport...

The gentleman is Bob Brunson, former Corsair night fighter pilot. I got to speak with him for about half an hour. I had hoped to continue correspondence via email, but he chose not to respond. Still, it was a privilege to meet and talk with him. -- Lynn in StLou REMOVETHIS anti-spam measure to reply |

What is the plane on the right just in front of the Westland Whirlwind?

"Dave Speeking" wrote in message t... What is the plane on the right just in front of the Westland Whirlwind? Dave My guesses are. starting from foreground, Seafire, Corsair, Martlet (Wildcat), on the right, a yellow-nosed Barracuda, then a black-nosed one, then another Martlet half-out of the hangar. Facing at the far end, a yellow-nosed Sea Hurricane and something peeping out of the hangar at the left, which I wouldn't even guess at! I think the second Barracuda's tail might have suggested a Whirlwind? Regards Pat Macguire |

"Casey Tompkins" wrote in message ... Anyway, that's a great shot, with all the different types, and I'd love to hear if anyone has any background context. For example: is that really a base in England? The vegetation seems to indicate that. The landscape and the vegetation suggest that this could well be summer in the UK but the different types of aircraft together with a lack of squadron markings is strange. Could this be a museum or even a film set ? If it is a UK airbase it's the worst kept one that I have ever seen, the grass is a right mess and everywhere looks very shabby. |

It is an WWII FAA repair depot hence the many different aircraft.

There's an outside chance it could be Donibristle (HMS Merlin), in Fife, which at one time was a Naval Aircraft Repair Yard. Regards Pat Macguire |

Pat; Right you are, it lacks the Whirlwind's "bullet".
Thanks. Dave |
