Good luck!

There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.

Hi Kitty

Looks like a stealth bomber on a radar screen!!

I see now, hiding in photo bucket

My guess is a North American P-82 Twin Mustang

Well done Cliff ................... I hear The Soviets and the Americans are fighting over your services for spotting enemy aircraft at night with no moon! :D

I even spun the image around and to nothing much more than a pop rivet !!!!!!!!
Cliff is 100% correct .................
