I know that feeling😉 Maybe we should start a sync build then?😉

Excellent idea!

Alright, however I have to buy the kit and decals first 🙂

Hi Andy. Revell do a Spitfire Vb kit that comes with markings for Jan Zumbach. Admittedly it's post-BoB but would fit your Poles over the Brinney theme. Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb (Revell 03897, 1:72)

03897

@Gary, it's not intended to be BoB per se, any brave Polish pilots flying will suffice!! Will give the heads-up as and when we start?....

About joining in, my Spit has a Pole in it, it is 4 years after BoB in Belgium however.

To qualify: your Polish pilot has had to have flown over the English Channel/la Manche (hence 'Briney'), oh, OK...we'll allow the North Sea too!

Well, Aleksander Gabszewicz  served in the ranks of No. 607 Squadron RAF and No. 303 Polish Fighter Squadron before being transferred to 316 Polish Fighter Squadron and later was the commanding officer. I suppose he qualifies.

Only thing is to retrieve the Spit from the shelf of doom. What is the time frame for our builds?

I have to admit I didn't get the meaning of "Briney"...|
Thanks Maciej for your inputs, I'm more into planes than their pilots😉

Łukasz , I don't know if Monty Python is understood in Poland, but they did a fantastic sketch about RAF 'banter' or slang if you will: one of the RAF officers mentions "cabbage crates over the briney", ( I guess meaning the Luftwaffe were coming over the sea), to which the other officer states " don't understand your banter, squadron leader. It's hilarious, trust me!

Mkay, I have to admit it's really hard to understand the Monty Python unless you're a native speaker. And the local subtitles (or the infamous Polish lector) sound completely different😉
But I found a transcript and I can say I moreless get the sketch 🙂

There's more I *could* do and *should* do: but I declare her complete.
