Much greater manifold pressure - a two stage supercharge, and aftercooler to cool the intercoolers - and 130/150 octane fuel that could cope with the higher boost pressure.

Also with a two stage blower they could optimize the Rolls Royce motor's performance for different altitudes. Escorting bombers in Europa at 25,000 feet by which time the 109 had run out of puff and was at a serious disadvantage.

 

Some more

 

Please correct me if I am wrong…I seem to remember this or a very similar aircraft we were in , with car! From France to England in early 1960s??

I have a 35 second video at Fairford of The Vulcan. Cannot upload due to file size and my numpty inability with IT. Any hints how I can upload from my iPhone library?

One of my prized possessions as a kid was the 1:24 scale model Stuka that I saved up for, built and painted. It was the biggest model plane I owned and was about half a metre long.


The Horton Ho-229 was another childhood fave.

 

Some great shots - we have quite allot of the RAF practice dog fights about our house, so much so the ground shakes but I need a better camera to keep up with these

Sadly most I can add at moment is quite a few pics of the underside of a Cessna caravan but after seeing these probably a bit dull to anyone else
