Headed on to Baghdad via Jerusalem. I got a bitt off course in the middle of the desert. That would have been hard to explain to KLM headquarters. Fortunately, I was able to throw in a little "kentucky windage" on a course correction to get me close enough pick up the NDB signal for Baghdad when I got in range.....
A couple more DC-2 shots. I'm not sure why Pan Am would have a -2 sitting up at the Granville Brothers, but thought it would make a good shot. Just parked the KLM flight at Karachi.
Took the Heron in Cambrian livery to 'Tiger Bay' (where else!); below the right wing is site of RAF Pengam Moors; where a certain Guy Gibson parked a Blenheim while attending his own wedding in Penarth.
Pengam was home to Cambrian until 1954 when everything moved to Rhoose.
Love those shots of the AOP9 flying along over the airfield. They provide a convincing example of how well the standard camouflage scheme works.
Cheers

Some new repaints for David Wooster's F9F-6/8 Cougar by Juan Antonio Martinez C. were posted on Flightsim dot Com a couple of weeks ago, breathing new life into this slightly older but well built bird.
Good memories of chasing trains, thanks. Oh, how that fun Bill Lyons creation is missed here now.
Am remembering the first time lining up with it in a crosswind & landing on it... or trying to, anyhoo.
Not a solid landing surface unfortunately though the wings sticking out from a car mid-train made
for a cool screenshot, heh! Flying online- hope to try this one day before long. Good shots, all.
