Updated 1 June: Spitfire antennae

Monday, June 02, 2008   |   posted by Spitfire Site Editor   |   permalink

Work on the site could be finally commenced yesterday, after I have finished another monthly update of the IPMS Stockholm Magazine. By the way, if you are into modelling, I think you shouldn't miss the pictorial feature by Ricardo Dacoba entitled Alpha Jet Jaguar. Ricardo turns the old and weary plastic kit into the work of art, adorned by one of these wonderful Tiger Meet schemes. RAF fans should also enjoy the series of Fairey Swordfish models presented by Israeli modeller Rafi Ben-Shahar.

Turning the attention over to this site, we have a new addition tonight for your enjoyment.
  • The new article is part of the growing Variants & Technology section. Entitled Spitfire Masts and Aerials, it explains the evolution of various radio systems and the antennae used on the Spitfire. Altogether a useful reference feature written by Jeff Webb.

  • In the same section, I have also adjusted the old article on The Sutton Harness on the Spitfire, adding a photo of late type Spitfire harness and some new information received from Edgar Brooks (thanks).
