iron mike Senior Member Registered: 02/09/07 Posts: 3429 Loc: Maryland, USA	Thaks Col. for providing an in depth look at the 418th. Next up is the 351st, since a unit has a max of 16 it will only have 6 planes from the squadron. In practice the units flew with 18 to 24 aircraft per Group box. Notice how I have added the proper nose windows on the F models... OT...Snetterton was a favorite race coues in the 50's and 60's for open wheel racing. I've driven it since Geoff Crammonds' REVS plus 4 up to Grand Prix Legends... P.S. I'm giving a small bio on each aircraft and crew on page 1 of this thread. _________________________ http://www.sandbagger.uk.com/ironmike.html

iron mike Senior Member Registered: 02/09/07 Posts: 3429 Loc: Maryland, USA	There has been a rather nasty bump in the road here. My hard drive has been scrambled.

iron mike Senior Member Registered: 02/09/07 Posts: 3429 Loc: Maryland, USA	I really don't quite know exactly what is left. The folder with the 100th was pretty much trashed. As was the Paint Shop folder. I'm trying to recover the data. But, I don't know what is left. _________________________ http://www.sandbagger.uk.com/ironmike.html

Col. Gibbon 3DZ Model Builder Veteran Registered: 06/04/01 Posts: 11116 Loc: Fleet, Hampshire, England.	Hi Mike. I hope you manage to get your computer problems sorted out quickly, and get back on track. I found a bit of history behind 2 of your skins, but "High Life" seems to be a bit of an unknown, other than loss date. Piccadilly Lily 42-5864 Quote: Just after bomb release, "Piccadilly Lily" was hit by flak, damaging the navigators compartment and starting a fire in the No3 engine. The Fort went into a dive and exploded. Four 'chutes were seen, 'though five escaped. Cpt Barker, 351st Sq Operations Officer, was along as an observer and was one of those killed. Mike Note the correct name. Raunchy 42-30057 http://www.usaaf-noseart.co.uk/misslist-30057.htm There is a pic of Raunchy, being hauled out of a Swiss lake in this thread. http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=40899 _________________________ Ah that's much better!
