That's actually a captured BF109 Theres a story I heard about one of the Daimler engines being taken to Rolls Royce for teardown and inspection. Supposedly RR was amazed at the precision of the crankshaft. They said that they could not duplicate it. Dont know if true. |

 colour as the brits sayYea, I'm thinkin' they were touched up. Colour photos from that era tend not to look that vibrant, at least not after 60-odd years.Find some good Kodachromes from that era. You will be amazed. Digital photography many times still cant beat a Kodachrome slide. |
