The big group shot is calle da Balbo, Mix of Mitchell's, Yak-9, Stangs, Hurricane, Spitfires Gave me real goosebumps seeing this above I tell you! One for Sabre below, Korean War era jet, this crazy bugger was flying over our house, seeing how close he could get to his buddy. We have lots of ww2 planes and others fly over our ghouse, as the lake we are on I tihnk is used as a waymarker.

Brave souls the lot, from all allied nationalities.
