    That's another thing I have learnt today Quim.
    I had no idea that the Fury was out in Spain during the Civil War.

    You'd be surprised what turned up there Rob. Usually only one or two of a type. There was a fair selection of civil types pressed into service, de Havilland being well represented.

    Indeed. I've always wanted to have a reason to have a 1/200 De Haviland Dragon Rapide. SCW is a good reason fro that.

    Helmet aircraft do one in this scale, price is a bit eye-watering though.

    From Wiki:
    Yugoslav Furies saw action against Axis forces in the German invasion of 1941. On 6 April 1941 a squadron of Furies took off to defend their country against the invading German Messerschmitt Bf 109Es and Messerschmitt Bf 110s. In the resulting conflict 10 Furies were destroyed, almost the entire squadron. The Commanding Officer of the 36 LG was Major Franjo Džal watched from the ground as his men were slaughtered in their obsolete biplanes. In an unequal battle against superior adversaries, five aircraft were destroyed while taking off and eight pilots killed. Two more Furies and Bücker Bü 131 were destroyed on the ground. But of the attacking German aircraft 5 Bf-109s and 2 Bf-110s failed to return, though most were non-combat losses however at least one was lost when rammed by a Fury. The other squadron of Yugoslav Furies active at the time of the invasion strafed enemy tanks and ground forces, some being lost to ground fire and one being destroyed in a dogfight with a Fiat CR.42. The rest of the Yugoslav Furies were destroyed when they became unserviceable or at the time of Armistice on the 15th. Ex-RAF Furies were also used by the South African Air Force against the Italian forces in East Africa in 1941 and despite their obsolescence destroyed 2 Caproni bombers as well as strafing many airfields, destroying fighters and bombers on the ground.

    Thanks for all this extra info chaps and Zoe.
    It is nice to know all those inter war aircraft got an outing, rather than just at air displays.

    Dave. Are you okay for that?
    You must rest and take things easy.
    We need you more than the planes.
    I hope you're getting better.

    +1!

    As in biplane action, Im more interested now in Winter War. That give us reasons to get Bulldogs, Gladiators(more of them), I-15s, I-153s, I-16s, SB-2s, etc etc.
    Thanks
