Thanks, Bolox!

From the pages you linked to:

"Also starting in late September Mk I IFF "Pipsqueak" began being introduced. Spitfire equipped with this had a wire which emerged from a small insulator just forward and towards the top of the red centre spot of the fuselage roundel running to the tip of the tailplane. "

and

"Also in late September and early October Spitfires started being fitted with Mk. I IFF equipment. This equipment received a signal transmitted from ground radar equipment and retransmitted it, creating a distinctive bright blip on the radar screen. The receiver and transmitter wires emerged from small insulators just in front of and slightly above the red centre spot of the fuselage roundels on both sides. The wires were anchored to the tailplane tips. "

I've never read about or heard of these before!

Hello
thank you for update news, i am always so happy for any news and pics. I guess the ground is still WIP so i wont comment on this. Just small question, can you take training missions in different planes?

keep the hard work

Thanks,

A BIG thrill to see an in-flight scene like that with multiple aircraft, even though the WIP status is obvious.

The flight-training with the Tiger Moth looks intriguing (and useful)

Thanks for your comments guys, glad to see a changing attitude to these things.

The landscape is actually getting along very well. There's a nice stretch of it visible in the first Ju-88 pic, see if you can figure out where they're flying.

Must be NW from Dover, me thinks.

[AdMan]

these were taken in dx9?

Why does everything looks a bit hazy, even at very short range?

The first pic, what altitude is those Ju88 at?
