Two Young Men of Many.
In the spirit of rememberance, two of Dads Squadron mates were kiled on 2 consecutive days. Flight Sergeant William Spencer (see log book entry 4th June) and Pilot Officer Donald Joseph Eugene Schmitz (June 5th).
Age Shall Not Weary Them.
Old documents hard to read! I had hoped the typed combat reports would be more legible.
Eduard's Weekend Mk IX here representing the 243 Spitfire in the photograph which Dad flew on occasions at that time though not on these days.
The kit is fine although I made the mistake of buying the Brassin cockpit. All that remained after a shower of resin shrapnel and choice words were the panel, seatbelts and joystick. The rest ended up in the bin. Just too brittle and fiddly.
Excellent job on the Eduard Spitfire, Ross! Awesome background info and records!
A nice remembrance build, Ross @ross4
Thanks for sharing the background information.
Good job, Ross.
