Fairey Swordfish Mk III, Imperial War Museum, Duxford. This aircraft was built not by Fairey's but by Blackburn Aircraft Ltd. These were known, colloquially, as 'Blackfish' It is in the markings of No 119 Sqn, RAF which used these obsolescent biplanes on nocturnal sorties over the Scheldt estuary in 1945 to hunt down E-boats and minature submaries of the Kreigsmarine. Hence the all-black colour scheme and the radar carried under the fuselage. #RAF #Swordfish #FaireySwordfish #BlackburnAircraft #Scheldt #Kreigsmarine #1945 #eboat #submarine #biplane #WW2 #avgeek #imperialwarmuseum #Duxford #aviation #royalairforce #Radar

C-47A This example of the classic transport aircraft designed by Douglas was one of the workhorses of WW2. Seen here at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, this fine example of the breed is shown wearing the famous 'D-Day' stripes, and with a heavily weathered paint scheme, appropriate to the period film in which she had taken part. #IWM #Duxford #USAAF #WW2 #invasionstripes #DDay #aircraft #aviation #photography #aviationphotography #avgeek #ImperialWarMuseum #Douglas #C47 #history

Here are two shots of the roof gallery in the Imperial War Museum - a space that is currently empty.

Taken with the Laowa 7.5mm f2 on my Olympus EM1iii, the first is a vertorama.

Hawker Nimrod II, (1934). This superb restoration by the #HistoricAircraftCompany at #Duxford, is one of the elegant #biplane designs from the #Hawker stable. Powered by a #RollsRoyce #Kestrel engine, this fleet #fighter served the #RoyalNavy well. #ImperialWarMuseum #museum #navalaviation #aviationphotography #aviation #HAC #history #photography

I’m delighted to be talking about #HannaReitsch & #MelittaVonStauffenberg, the subject of my book, #TheWomenWhoFlewForHitler, at the #ImperialWarMuseum Duxford’s first #HistoryFestival over 25/26 March 2023.
The museum kindly invited me over to make a short film to promote it… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDY1WMaLtuI
