This was Tim Elkington's aircraft of Number 1 Squadron for a brief (and not so fruitful) spell. A single day!

She's a beauty. Just a shame that her charms were only skin deep in the end.

Here is Tim's comment:


And here is how she looks in-game.














All coming in the 2.08 update.


Thanks for all you did for us, Tim. Sincerely.

Good one, Bader.
Like "Figaro the Cat & Bloody Swastika Swatter" that Ian Gleed used on his Hurricane door.

Thanks from me, too, Tim!

Jeffrey Stickley, US Navy 7th Fleet 1973-1980.

Just wonderful.

I'd like to echo Pauls words too Tim.

Thankyou.

Pretty brilliant - larger than life!!

But I had fired my guns? At whom??

And - politely - why 1966???

Sorry Tim, we can't quite stretch to individual aircraft serial numbers, they tend to be shared amongst a number of planes. I guess I could assign the whole squadron to P3173. Call it laziness on my part

Did you never fire the guns? That *is* a short career.

Nice one, Paul.
As a modern day German, I can echo the sentiment as well.
I think the guns would at least have been fired on ground to calibrate them?

Didn't mean to steal the show on numbers Bader but, as to guns, yes, fired with result the day before. But never in formation afterwards. Just a lost soul trying to 'home' back to base at North Weald.

Talking of short careers, I think the record for the shortest ever must go to X4110 Spitfire of 602 Squadron which was delivered To westhampnet on the morning of 18th August 1940 and was shot down 20 mins after having been scrambled the same afternoon! The Pilot was Dunlop Urie and he survived the sortie.
