We gotsa super-quickie 'fer'y'all today... a fine snap from your blogmeister's collection showing a Northrop N-3PB in service with 330 (Norwegian) Squadron of the RAF Coastal Command, 1941-42.
Enjoy...
Fade to Black...
Today we present a fine photo of the Westland Whirlwind. Introduced in mid‑1940, this twin‑engine fighter packed a punch with its four nose-mounted 20mm Hispanos and was a fine performer at low to medium altitudes. But production was limited to just 114 airframes, largely due to its troublesome Rolls-Royce Peregrine engines. Seeing service with just three RAF squadrons, the type was retired from frontline duty in late 1943, fading into relative obscurity thereafter...
For today's quickie we present a few fine photos showing a formation of Hawker Furies flown by 'The Fighting Cocks' of No.43 Squadron, Royal Air Force during September of 1939, shortly after war came to Europe.
Cheerio...
