Reading an autobiography by one pilot I discovered the 5" rockets they fired against shipping had solid iron warheads. Given the velocity they travelled at, I suppose explosive heads would've been academic.A Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834159033854153921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667394792878825730.post-87001912528043900732011-05-15T18:09:39.182+01:002011-05-15T18:09:39.182+01:00My Dad (who is now 91!) was a Beaufighter Navigato...My Dad (who is now 91!) was a Beaufighter Navigator on 211 Squadron and flew operations against the Japanese in Burma throughout 1944. I therefore have a great fondness for this model having made at least two for him over the years. On 211 Squadron the aircraft also only had a single identification letter on the fuselage. Your model is very nicely done as always!<br /><br />There's a little piece about my Dad on the 211 Squadron website http://users.cyberone.com.au/clardo/da_spencer.htmlStrykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667394792878825730.post-11525933939872249432011-05-15T11:50:02.510+01:002011-05-15T11:50:02.510+01:00Nice clean work.Nice clean work.The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667394792878825730.post-76373328051412000522011-05-15T10:13:19.316+01:002011-05-15T10:13:19.316+01:00Shamelessly posed - and why not?

I also remember the Matchbox version which I think was a longer-nosed variant.Tim Gowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561988214539953646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667394792878825730.post-87966945927317447092011-05-15T07:43:01.799+01:002011-05-15T07:43:01.799+01:00Very nice, well done.
