How Big Is that Bow !!

Thanks jan and Thudders .... Just want to remind folks too that today is the 65th anniversary of the Dambusters famous raid .... and register my respect in remembrance those that paid the ultimate price on that occasion ...over 50 men I believe didnt return to RAF Scampton .. I just saw a flypast on the news by a lone Lancaster over Derwent Water where they trained . Wow ...terrific

but can anyone of you RAF buffs give me a link to a coloured pic of mosquito plane 
... a big job it was ... but when you think of the sacrifices made on our behalf ... it puts things into perspective very quickly ... .. the Lancaster and the Spitfire in particular seem to be part of the British psyche ... and held in a huge amount of collective love and nostalgia ...and just listening to the sound of that Lancaster today on the news ... you can see why ... tis a sound synonymous with sacrifice and courage ...
