Some very interesting stuff there. Jameson kept the Norwegian connection and later returned to command both 331 and 332 (Norwegian) Sqns when they were part of the North Weald wing. The two Norwegian fighters squadrons were fast learners and soon ranked among the top scoring fighter sqns in the RAF, but I think a very important part of their success was that the RAF "shepherded" them with some of the finest flying senior (wing level) officers in the RAF. People like Patrick Jameson, Adolph Gysbert "Sailor" Malan and Francis Davies Stephen Scott-Malden were very important in guiding the Norwegians.
I'm finishing up FN-S, it has some changed compared to the beta. I have also started on a Belgian fabric winged Hurricane, but the texture problems with stretching and mapping makes it very difficult to get a decent and correct scheme. FN-S has not the same scheme as seen on earlier Hurricanes and used during the Norwegian campaign and a 46 Sqn Hurricane will need a lot of work to get right.
I just got "Spitfire saga - volume 5" and it might look like my attention is moving over to D-day 132 (Nor) wing Spitfire IXs. The good old Realair Spitfire IX is still in my mind the best Spitfire out there, even if the base model can be traced back to FS9. And the best part, it is a joy to paint!
