Thank you Spark 317. I'll store that info now. I'm glad you like the post.Some people forget or may not know what Armistice Day is.
Here in the USA, it's Veterans Day.
Veterans Day occurs on November 11 every year in the United States in honor of the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918 that signaled the end of World War I, known as Armistice Day. ... Eisenhower officially changed the name of the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day.
Thank you for posting Brian.
And a special thanks to the Veterans that have served around the world.
thank you for the kind words RotorwashVery nice Brian, thank you. Lest we forget!
It played a big part, along with the Hawker Hurricane..Wasn't the Spitfire the fighter plane that won the Battle of Britain?
It’s a pleasure to share Dragonfly JoeVery moving Brian. Thank you.
I too owned and built scale models of the RAF planes that flew locally. I cannot comment on the rest of your post. I just wallow in my fav' planes of the 50's onward. The list is extensive and includes the Catalina, which I built many times in various colour schemes.When I was a kid I had models of both the Spitfire and the Hawker Hurricane. If I remember my history correctly the Hawker Hurricane was a faster, more powerful plane, but the Spitfire was more reliable. Does that sound correct?
you are very welcome BrianThank you for sharing and allowing us to remember with you.
