Great to see the charismatic Morane D-3801 (Swiss built Morane 406) J-143 / HB-RCF again at Paris Air Legend. The "neutrality stripes" and sharks teeth add even more charm to this unique aircraft. #warbirdlovers #avgeeks #airlegend #Swiss #airshows #warbirds AIR LEGEND

Once in a while a new warbird grabs everyone's attention! Fair to say Hawker Tempest II MW763 / G-TEMT "PR533" is probably the most significant British type to emerge in many years. Owned by FighterAviationUK, restored, and operated by UltimateWarbirdFlights. #Warbirdlovers #avgeek

Blast from the past created in 1/72. Fighter Collection #Spitfire Mk.IX ML417 made up with spares from AZ model kits, brush painted & custom decals. ML417 flew with TFC from 84-01, then spent years in the US before overhaul & emerging back in the UK last year. #avgeeks The Spitfire Society

Spitfire Saturday with PR.XI PL979 on display at the Norwegian Armed Forces Aircraft Collection in Gardermoen, Norway. Phil from our team recently visited & was able to have a good look at this very rare Spitfire, one of just 4 PR.XIs on display in the world.
