Nationalist Trio

Nieuport-Delage NiD 52 - Spanish Nationalist Air Force, 1937

Cracking last shot Mario!

Dassault Mirage IIICS - F21, Fygvapnet, 1974 A few more shots showing the fictional Rb-23 missile - a license-built version of the Matra R-530.

Flash!

Dassault Mirage IIICS* - F21, Flygvapnet, 1974 * As the Mirage IIICS was a one-off I'm recycling the designation for a version of the Mirage IIIC pitched at Sweden (who certainly didn't need it).

Peak of profession

Lavochkin La-13 'Flute' - Soviet Air Force, 1949 During the Summer of 1945, and by Stalin's request, captured examples of the Dornier Do-335 Pfiel were flown back to the Central Institute of Aerodynamics (TsAGI) at the new Zhukovsky facility where it was decided to copy the basic design and allow the Lavochkin OKB to manufacture it for the Soviet Air Force. The Daimler-Benz DB 603A engines were replaced by two of the promising new Shvetsov ASh-94FN engines each rated at 1,850 hp and armament was changed to three of the outstanding 23 mm Nudelman-Suranov NS-23 cannons. Prototype testing was aided by using original Do-335 airframes with the new Shvetsov engines and the first all-new La-13's began to roll off the Lavochkin production line during the Spring of 1947 and entering service soon after. La-13's gained instant notoriety in August 1948 when they shot down four C-54 Skymasters which had strayed just outside the southern air corridor on their return to Rhein-Main Air Base.

That's a fine screenshot btw.

Epic!

It's a beauty!

Me too. Not so much riding nowadays but in 2007 I did Paris-Brest-Paris (see my PBP Ancien signature).

Dassault Mirage 3C - Armée de l'Air, 1980

Lol - great minds think alike!

Saunders-Roe Spectre B.2 - No.100 Squadron, RAF Bomber Command 1967 Chapeau to Fast Cargo for the awesome B-2A 'Spirit'.

Tipping the balance

Dassault Mirage 3Y - No.1 'White Rose' Squadron, Yorkshire Air Force, 1971 A little tribute to Yorkshire's hosting of the first two days of the Tour de France.

The Yak-41 masquerading as the Dornier P266 'Kobra' Dornier P266 'Kobra' - JG3, Luftwaffe 1948

Hawker Hurricane Mk.IR - Royal Australian Air Force, 1943

Perhaps... or some other deserving nation. Another option for a radial-engined Hurricane would be for 'my' Wright F4W-1 to placate the USN's preference for radials.

This is so cool! Thanks Raven!

Hawker Hurricane Mk.1R - HävLLv 31, Ilmavoimat, 1943 Great work Raven!
