I found this nice site that has pictures of British aircraft, some I never heard of and need to research more on. The Baynes Bat, Boulton Paul p92, and the BAC drone de luxe all look interesting.

The Baynes Bat was in fact a 1/3 scale model of a projected large assault glider which - thankfully, perhaps - was never built.

Back to the drawing board....

Nice Mosquito drawings, I did not know Turkey and China used them. The BOAC mosquitos look interesting.

Give me a chance TA, I may get to 1000 at the end of the year.

Otto is updating the Churchill aviators hope there is one with a cigar I may go for it.

That's now 504

Those really are some great drawings of the various Mossies. I love all of the schemes. I think my favorites are the ones with the invasion bands. I have always liked those on the allied planes.
