Polish Air Force GB

Here are a couple more items I've finished up recently;

A Polish built aircraft, but not in Polish service, a PZL P-24 from Bulgaria in 1938

an RWD-8 trainer/Observation

my 3 Polish aircraft, L to R; RWD-8, P-37b, P-11c (for size perspective)

Well, I was getting a couple pics all ready to post of the RWD-8 when I noticed.......

I FORGOT TO PUT THE WINDSCREENS ON!!! Oh, I can be such a ninny sometimes. Pics later this afternoon.

bump

something I was quite aware of. really. honest.

I do try and use my history degree for something other than gathering dust...on occassion. LOL

Besides, I have a fair decent set of books on the Bulgarian AF. Lots of nifty pics! Thats what got me interested in the P.43 to start with. Figured it would be an interesting project. Same with the P.24 I am currently doing.

fine. won't use them in here then. not worth arguing over.

still gonna build 'em, though.

Well, it was a Polish built derivitive of the P-11 much like the P-43 was a derivitive of the P-23. Both were designed for the export market, but were built by PZL. Kinda like looking at a Mustang, Tomahawk/Kityhawk, Martlet/Wildcat, Mitchell or Corsair in British markings. Still US built even though they fly with differant colours.

Ya but my point is that the P.24 and P.43 weren't used by Poland, for some unknown reason.

I don't think it would be easy to convert the P.23 to the P.43:

I think a conversion to the P.42 would be easier:

S'alright. we all have our occasional lapses of senility and "blonde" moments.
