Pretty In Pink. This Spitfire painted in PRU Pink is almost as attractive as the delightful Molly Ringwald in the film of that name.

DIESELPUNK Hey !! Boeing F4B-4 fighters, the 1930’s US Pursuit planes I have most affection for. They seem to be attacking Fay Wray in this version of Queen Kong ?? That’s a fine big girl in  the Fay Wray part but King Kong seems a little on the diminutive side from HERE

The late 40’s/ early 50’s were exciting times for English aviation enthusiasts with a constant stream of interesting and exciting aircraft appearing, non more so than the Saunders-Roe SR.44 Jet Flying Boat Single Seat Fighter.The newsreel of it flying the length of Farnborough’s runway INVERTED was a sight to behold. These pics was taken in preservation at Duxford.
