The P-40 was the best known Curtiss-Wright aircraft of World War II. It was also one of the most controversial fighters of the war. It was vilified by many at the time as being too slow, lacking in manoeuvrability, having too low a climbing rate, and being largely obsolescent by contemporary world standards even before it was placed in production. The inadequacies of the P-40 were even the subject of a Congressional investigation and it gets regularly included on lists of the worst combat aircraft of World War 2. All of these criticisms certainly had some degree of validity, but it is also true that the P-40 served its country well during the first year of the war in the Pacific when very little else was available. Along with the P-39 Airacobra, the P-40 was the only American fighter available in quantity to confront the Japanese advance during the first year of the Pacific War. It helped stem the speed of the Japanese advance until more modern types could be made available in quantity. The P-40 had no serious vices and was a pleasant aircraft to fly, and, when flown by an experienced pilot who was fully aware of its strengths and weaknesses, was able to give a good account of itself in aerial combat. Strangely enough, the P-40 continued in production long after later and more modern types were readily available, the numbers manufactured reaching the third highest total of American World War II fighters, after the Republic P-47 and the North American P-51. In hindsight, many of the criticisms levelled at the P-40 can be attributed to the aircraft being used in roles it was not initially designed for.

Come una pattuglia acrobatica, tre remore mi girano attorno a tutto gas, inanellano looping e tonneau, poi - dopo un ultimo passaggio in volo radente - scompaiono nel blu.
Cercano il loro ospite, il grande squalo sotto il cui ventre hanno nuotato per miglia e miglia e che ora le ha abbandonate nella sua fuga verso la vita.
Like an aerobatic team, three suckerfishes wheel fast around me, drawing loopings and tonneau, then - after a last low-flying pass - they vanish in the blue.
They're looking for their host, the great shark which they swam with for miles and miles, and which now marooned them during its flight toward the life.

Delivered today (29/03/2018) to D&P Coaches of Farnborough were a pair of Scania K360IB4 / Irizar i6 C53FT coaches registered YN18SSU and YN18SSV. They have replaced similar YN63BZA and YN63BZC which left the fleet in part-exchange. The new arrivals mark a return to the Scania/Irizar combination following the purchase of 3 Irizar i6 integrals in 2016/17. As usual, fleetname vinyls will be added in the near future.
