You're Top Poster: #1  | Amazing how well they seem to have worked together. I didn't know there was a combined Dutch squadron. Cheers for that.

You're Top Poster: #2 | That's what I get for posting without reading! LOL. For some reason, I'm sure she picked up girly noseart in the past few years that was PTO-related!

You're Top Poster: #2 | Second pic looks like the final balbo at Duxford's Flying legends. Glad to see she still has the noseart but dunno why I thought Pacific!
