Whitley_project : Message: RE: [Whitley_project] Particular Whitley 612 Squadron

Thanks Colin - some pics here that my research had not turned up - particulalry the censored one.

Today I discovered this site - which has over 90 pictures. Some are "familiar" and some are of models from other peoples projects but some I had not seen before. In particular there are afew from "non traditional angles"

http://www.aircraft-list.com/db/Armstrong_Whitworth_Whitley/24/

Few from 612 unfortunately. And I'm still trying to find what the call sign might have been for Philip's Z6810

But it's all grist to the modelling !

Kind regards

DAvid

I have a DVD from the Imperial War Museum Collection about the
Air Transport Auxiliary delivering aircraft in 1941, including rare
footage of a Whitley take off and in-cockpit sequences. The DVD can be
bought at:
