Still haven’t decided if I’ll enter this, (I’ve too many things on the burner now) but this is something I’ve always wanted to do…
Returning from the Doolittle Raid, steaming east, 25kts, Carriers 700 miles to the west having launched the raiders, returning at 30 kts… (taken from the USS Cimarron)
Capturing a moment in time…

Yo John, I’ve read the rules & understand they may be more to come during staging. I’m doing a project (“Sturmy weather”) which will replicate a period photo as exactly as possible - come March 1st I’ll be around 75% finished. Would that kinda sorta qualify? Rather than post a bunch of already-built photos I’d just post a single link to my existing thread. And because it’s not fully in the spirit of this GB I wouldn’t expect a badge, maybe just an M.I.D.?

Mate I think it will be fine as long as you are happy about the no award ?? There will be as you mentioned, a very substantial M.I.D as I’m sure it will be a stunning build …. And I am sure it will be a very welcome addition which people here will enjoy watching it develop ….

So, saw this and thought… why not. Different, out of my comfort zone ( might fit in with another campaign im toying with as well), and there’s Google AI info on it
This image depicts an Italian Fiat CR.42 Falco biplane fighter that was forced to land during the Battle of Britain in World War II.
-
The aircraft shown is a Fiat CR.42 Falco from the 95th Squadron, 18th Group, which was part of the Italian Air Corp (Corpo Aereo Italiano).
-
It was forced to land on a beach near the Orfordness lighthouse in England on November 11, 1940, after being damaged in combat.
-
The pilot of this specific aircraft was Sergente Pietro Salvadori, who survived the incident.
-
This model was a nimble, lightly armed biplane that was largely outclassed by contemporary British fighters like the Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire.

That’s actually pretty cool and a unique part of the BoB …..I didn’t even know the Italians were involved like that …. Would be a great addition to the campaign

Well, you must have snap somewhere Frank; the figure is Dutch (Syllys’s Models) but wouldn’t take much converting(!)
