Leo, That's the Royal Canadian Air Force and the plane is a Lancaster.  The modern picture of all the planes in front of the hangar is the Museum near the Airport at Calgary, Alberta Canada. We took a tour of it one year when we went to the Stampede rodeo.

I'd look like Snoopy. Them's my favorite jeans. $5.40 from Good Will. Too big 'n feel sooooo comfortable. Need the belt ta hang the Fobus on 'n the suspenders ta keep 'em up.

Had a great time takin' the museum tour with Tom. Good dogs fer lunch..

Arcey flyin in aboard a Sopwith Camel would really make the match.  But yeah, the wax is essential right along with scarf an skull cap.  Comin in low an pingin steel with one a them old rotary guns would be a thrill.

I looked at the design once and could picture it in slow motion, but then thinking of how fast those props twirled it seemed like there would be a high margin for error.  Perty neat stuff fer back then.

They used to put steel deflector plates on the props to keep from shootin' holes in their own props.

The CAF annual AirSho is at Midland this weekend. A lot of beautiful Warbirds will be on display and recreations of major air battles of WW2.  I'm gonna try to get out there next year. It was the same weekend as the Muster this year.  They named our group of planes, "The Ghost Squadron" and Tennessee Ernie Ford wrote a song about it. Ernie was a Col. in the CAF and a bombadier on a B29 in WW2.
