Thank you kindly Lou, the Spit is there part artstic license and part space saving in my display uinit as I am running out of shelves, but who is to say that they would not share the same apron space at some point - they were both on station at the same time.

I am almost certain that they would have flown out of seperate fields, at least if they were stationed in England. Later on, as things progressed through Europe, there may have been a shortage of airfields causing a little more mixing. BUT, when returning from missions with either mechanical issues or battle dammage, any landing field would do, and getting on the ground in one piece more or less was more important than who was already stationed there. So I am pretty certain that at some point in time, seeing a Spit and a Mossie next to one another would have been possible. mtaylor, Roger Pellett, Edwardkenway and 3 others 6 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey

Thanks Lou, my farther used to tell me of all sorts of crash landings at the various fields he worked at so I agreee - deffiantley possible, in fact at RAF West Maliing they were deffinatly both serving at the same time.

I was out in Edmonton the other week, and came across their local Aviation Museum, wherein they had a Mossie, and had it setup in a 'full scale' diorama, with a ground layout, a start cart, a bomb cart, tools, etc. It was reminiscent of your display!
