| 1287359 | 2012-07-10 00:36:00 | Indeed. I presume those window-shaped things poking up near the front of the wing are air brakes? Strange place to put them To think one of those planes accidentally touched the runway at Wellington during a flypast in the (1960s?) and spent forever at Ohakea on recovery |

| 1287365 | 2012-07-10 01:46:00 | ...brothers home town.. The Spitfire! It brings back memories. I used to fly them back in my younger days. They were so powerful you could apply one of the wheel brakes, spin around, and take off across the runway! (Never managed to land one, though. But hey, the BBC Micro only had 0.000032 GB of memory) |
