    I have never been to see that Mossie memorial at Bradwell Bay ! :eek:

    I've always thought it looks a little odd in photos......

    A nice landing. :)

    Did it actually land like that or is it just a set up memorial?

    It's a memorial. The 'Mossie' is a scale model made from, I believe, either stone or concrete......

    Blimey I didnt realise they paint it in different colour schemes as in your pics Von Poop.

    Now I know your not being serious, its surely a gate guard thingy, or else maybe Martin can tell us different. It doesnt look like a full size mosi, but what do I know, its one of those quaint aeoplaney things that I dont really doooo. Although I have a lot of time for oldish Buccaneer of more recent days, now there was an aircraft.
