The Battle of Britain 75th Anniversary flight.
34 Spitfires and Hurricanes took off from Goodwood in the space of about 20 minutes, from 1400. Arranged in groups of three or four planes, they flew to various destinations in the South of England, visiting many towns and sites of significance in the Battle on the way. Three Spitfires headed north-east to fly to Bentwaters (Suffolk). They are seen here passing over the former RAF Martlesham Heath airfield at 15.08.
From top to bottom they are
Supermarine Seafire Mk IIIc PP972 (G-BUAR, Markings 11 5)
Supermarine Spitfire Mk Ia X4650 (G-CGUK, Markings KL A)
Supermarine Spitfire T9 ML407 (G-LFIX, Markings vOU)
This is a two seater, based at the former airbase at Bentwaters, near Woodbridge.
The pictures aren't really up to my usual standard, but were taken on a Canon compact camera, as I didn't really think there would be much opportunity for perfection!
CAGED FIGHTERS 7

I moved into the new house a few weeks ago, I learned that the new place in my room had some CD display stands with adjustable shelves, what else would i put on here if I dont have a CD collection?
This is my collection of Main Street Fighters, probably 1 version of each character.
This is a build from months ago, before my move, intended for Peter's Bantam fighter challenge. I had been wanting to do an orange spacecraft for a while, so I took this as my opportunity to try it. It was one of those 'start building even though I have no idea what it should look like' builds. The result was a bit meh.
I forgot to take a picture of the cockpit open - it does swivel open quite nicely. No landing gear though.

Magnus Robot Fighter
By R. A. Jones
The times, they are a changing.
One of the most fondly remembered comic book series of the 1960s was “Magnus, Robot Fighter”. Set in the year 4000 A.D., the series centered on the heroic adventures of a young man named Magnus, who had been trained to shatter steel with his bare hands.
Magnus lived in a near-Utopian world in which sophisticated robots performed most physical labor – leaving mankind free to follow other pursuits. Occasionally, however, a robot would malfunction or fall under the control of evil men. When that happened, Magnus was called upon to stop them.
The book was a straight-forward action series, the stories fairly simple and unremarkable. What made them memorable was the clean, beautiful artwork of Russ Manning.
“Magnus, Robot Fighter” has been resurrected by Valiant Comics, and clearly shows how our sensibilities have changed in 25 years. The basic premise remains the same, but the slant of the stories is different.
Magnus now questions his right to destroy robots that are capable of independent thought, for he worries they may actually be living beings. So far, the series asks us to ponder the very nature of life.
Scripter Jim Shooter, who’s been writing comics since he was 13, has given us a new series that is proving to be superior to the old. It is a solid science-fiction tale that works very well.
It would be extremely difficult to match the level of artistic excellence achieved in the original series, and here the new book falls a little short – but only a little. Art Nichols and Bob Layton come close, and close is good enough. Combined with the quality of the paper and the coloring, it makes for an attractive package.
“Magnus, Robot Fighter” sells for $1.75 and is available in comic book specialty stores.
