Good stuff Ole.

Your airbrakes are flaps,giving extra lift for landing. They were not usually used for take off on Spitfires.

Bloody hell ole this is truly impressive stuff - why have I missed this thread so completely up to now! Just spent the last hour going through the thread from the beginning - superb stuff! I'd like to single out one thing I'm most impressed with but its so difficult as its all great. I guess the hydraulic ram must rank as the most over the top bit of extra detailing! Keep it up! This thread is now in my viewfinder so I'll be watching from now on

[Guest]
