For anyone doubting the efficiency of that smart shade of pink as camouflage... no need for such doubts.

Love that "Pink Spitfire"!

What's the story on BQ-S? Is it an HF.IX, or a recce model?

Neither - it's actually an F.MkIX with a Merlin 63, taken on charge on 5th June 1943. At this point the LF.MkIX had been in production for some 3 months or so, but was still not the main production model. The HF.MkIX was not yet in production.

This aircraft was used as a high altitude interceptor, despite the fact that it did not have the extended wingtips.

The variety of different engines on the VII/VIII/IX/XVI series is enough to make your head spin.

Have you worked out the difference between a Merlin 63 and the 63A? Good luck...

Get a good sense of the aeroplanes power with those shots Dan!

She's a mean machine, like Kurt Tank said, she's a cavalry horse, not a racehorse!

Which flight sim is it?

LOL!!

I hope Mathias is looking at our 190! ( Although not using FSX, I'm sure that one benefits from its newer capabilities but the new CFS3 stuff is really light years better than the original stuff!)

Your 2nd pic with hills. Is this some special scenery effect or localized to a specific area?

 

[Bravo/4]

No Andy nothing special, it's Austria. Take off from Wels, do a 360, head south, you'll see the mountains in the distance. Fly for about 15-20 mins depending on what you are flying, you need to clear all the rocky stuff and then you will see this scenery. I just stayed on a south coarse.
I had 3/8 scattered clouds, autumn, afternoon. It's not all good looking, still get things in places they shouldn't be, but still interesting to fly over!

Definitely looks better when covered with snow!

Sorry James, I called you Andy, for some odd reason I got you mixed up with the Major!

Yea the snow hides a lot!
