Planes on the hill

[Andre]

I suspect this is in honour of the Battle of Britain 75th anniversary but I can't say I was expecting to see these on my walk today.

Fiberglass I assume...??

 

[Andre]

I'm not sure.

They could be from the National Aviation Museum.

Do they have fpv?

 

[Andre]

Who need's FPV....

 

[Spastickitten]

Where are those photos from? I was hoping these would be fpv, they looked so scale, I mean look at the detail in the pilot!

Thanks. I went to a museum in the upper part of florida that had a lot of warbirds. There might have been a spitfire or two, but I remember seeing the Japanese zeros. I want to see a bf 109 though

ooh, Nice! Looks like a Mk.1 hurricane, and a Mk.IIb Spitfire.

 

[Spastickitten]

Akimbo, you putting your plane naming skills here too! I knew about the spitfire though.

It think it's a Mk.IIb because it appears to be a Battle of Britain era spit, and it has the bulges for the hispano cannons. The Mk.IIb was the first spitfire with this armament, and the only variant with cannons to see action in the Battle of Britain.
