- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

Thank you for your support.

Back in the mid 1980s there was a Lancaster out in the open(!) at Perth Airport, I think she was re-homed in a more friendly environment some years later.
IIRC this aircraft was ex Aeronavale and operated out of New Caledonia (I think!) in the all white scheme, repainted in a generic RAF pattern for display at Perth.
For some obscure reason I really like the Maritime versions..................really nice one Jan!

one more:

jk5352
Lancaster B.1 R5508 of No.44 Squadron based on Waddington, UK, as flown by Squadron Leader John Nettleton from South Africa during the low-level daylight raid on the MAN factory in Augsburg, Germany on 17 April, 1942. It involved six aircraft of 44 squadron and six of 97 squadron, that had to fly some 1000 miles over hostile terrain in daylight at low level. Only two of 44 Sqn and five of 97 Sqn aircraft reached the target, and two more aircraft were shot down near Augsburg by flak. Four 97 sqn aircraft returned to base under cover of darkness, but of 44 Sqn, only Squadron Leader Nettletons aircraft, although heavily damaged, made it back to the UK. Nettleton received the VC for this raid, F/L Penman of 97 Sqn the DSO. 8 DFC's and 10 DFM's were awarded to other crew members. Nettleton died on 13 July 1943, returning from a raid on Turin. It is believed he was shot down near Brest by a FW190 of JG.2. His body and those of his crew were never recovered.

Beautiful as usual but I don't have the PBR version but do have the older non-PBR version. Anyone know if there is an upgrade path?

Nice to see Sea Kings again at RAF Valley.
Still the prettiest.
I just had to sneak one of these in.....

I really like this paint, especially because I worked on this specific Phantom while stationed at NATC in the 1970s, and had the great fortune to ride backseat in it! NC
