Nice to see a Bucc - I don’t suppose there are too many in Museums. That Merlin has had a hard time; was it from the Hurricane it’s next to?
No.Powered another heroic Hurricane pilot who couldn’t mark it back to Manston

There’s one at the RAF museum Hendon in a horrific pinkish livery.
Gulf War 1 desert “camo”, most likely

That’s a really rare photo of a helicopter bred in the wild.

Surely that’s Photoshopped ?
Not sure, it was on the USO website.
We once spent a very miserable night at JFK (yup, in the airport building) because none of the ground staff would venture out onto the apron during a prolonged thunderstorm. Apparently the aircraft ‘attract lightning’.
I had the same experience in Saigon as VB in JFK. All the ground staff left the ramp for 4 hours during a thunderstorm - the lightening was very dramatic.
