Hi DWC
Just a quick post before 'I'm back'. So having another long weekend with my Dad and he gave me the awesome framed pic.
Back story is that dad, back in 73 was Chief Tech in RAF and was curator for the aviation museum at Colorne, UK. Now I remember as a kid I used to go to the museum and play on all the planes pictured.
The aircraft line up came about due to museum closing and a group shot was taken before aircraft were dispersed.
Cut to early 00's and an aviation author writes a book called Wrecks and Relics and features this collection with explanation and mentions my dad.
I have always been meaning to get a pic of the line up and unbeknownst to me, dad had contacted the original author who sent him hi-res pic of the actual shots taken in 73 and dad has given me a framed copy.
I am super stoked about this.
Just wanted to share.
Laters, JR

Most excellent! I see some really nice WWII fighters I'd love to see up close.
