I just thought this looks pretty good for a flight sim.

A good study of the headgear, earphone zip pouches, mask and goggles type. See the different type of headrest? I think this is s Spit.
North Africa ( shirt sleeves )
This pilot even has a polititcian on his back - in those days! I wonder if he enjoyed the ride? I wonder if there was anything in the cockpit to steal?
This is an African Vervet - see my prev post on monkeys & politicians.
Suppose a monkey on your back is better than an elephant in the room?
see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk2h6Xwx3dY and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIG53SkaGgA

another good study -sergeant pilot - England 1940
Image

74 Tiger Squadron ( ZP ) flaming start up
Image

I wonder what the Brit groundcrew / pilot ratio was - and if the US ratio was 3 x time greater ?( they had 3 x the spare engines shipped with their aircraft )
Image

Image

Image

calibrating the guns - see the sight marks in the distance
Note the small fusealge roundel without the yellow outer ring - very early 1940 or 1939
Image

Early MKI - two blade prop, non-blown canopy, yellow outer wing roundels, non-reinforced aerial mast, protruding 3rd .303
No squadron markings - must have been a prototype/display ( thus this photograph)/or a delivery aircraft - "K" registration prefix?
This was typically featured in 1938 Player's cigarette cards as the favorite amongst boys.
see the peculiar rudder haunch thing at top of rudder? Wonder what this is?

Hazzie,

Great to see those cigarette cards again. I used to have a complete set myself until my brother got his sticky paws on them and sold them. My mother nearly turned him into mincemeat. He also got hold of two of the three books that I had been given by my father. These were used by the aircraft spotters and other uses. A dark blue cover with a picture of the aircraft on the left hand page and three silhouettes on the right-hand page.
We have made up since then, though.

Prem,
yeah, I had a few that my Dad had collected, and including some beautiful dark blue Player's cigarette tins with a sailor on the front, that they came in.

The tins were definitely dark blue - compared the one below.

I kept them somewhere as a kid, but dunno what happened to 'em. My youger brother was'nt interested in my collections or models - he concentrated only on cricket bats and later became a world class player.

When I built my first Airfix 1:72 Spirfire aged about 8, I could'nt understand why the card's spit had yellow outer wing roundels which I thought beautiful, and decals of the plastic kit were jus blue and red. After many years of reading about spits, it dawned on me that all the various types were newer generations and that the camouflage and markings were also dynamically changed for whatever new reason, but that the essential spit airframe remained the same, which was patently confusing to an interestied kid.

Ha, when I was a kid we had one of the lighter coloured boxes,
in the basement, with nail holes knocked in the lid, and it was used
to carry the earthworms when we went fishing. We'd take it out in
the yard, somewhere lightly damp (or in those unlikely times when it
hadn't been recently raining, we'd put a sprinkler on for an hour before)
and we'd stick a garden fork in the lawn, one of us would stand on
the tines and rock back and forth while the other ran around scooping
up the worms that would spring out of the ground, dropping them in the
tin.

Trout. I think that's about the only thing that worms are standard bait for,
not sure, but it is absolutely traditional in North America, and probably
europe as well.
