There is only one G-ACSS, you said "a Comet". I thought G-ACSS has always been in flying condition?

only twigged it WAS that one they had stripped to bits when i posted the piccy.. couldn't be bothered editing.. after all, I am a bomber pilot..... just point it in roughly the right direction, make a cuppa and get everyone else to do the hard work
And I can't remember if the motors on it at the time were Gypseys or not... sorry

I've seen quite a few air racing servers for IL-2, now that the subject has been brought up, I might give it go when I get home...
