Great - and rather surprising - build. A naval fighter would make perfect sense, when you consider the very short and incliined runway at Vagar. 331 Skvadron was actually a norwegian squadron. All danish squadrons are numbered ind the 700s. E.g. Eskadrille 724 and Eskadrille 730 - both were fighter squadrons.

Really cool, Comrade, and it ties in well with my also Vagar-based Super Deuce from a year-and-a-half ago :)

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

Excellent ! Love the paint and markings on her, and the refueling probe ! And of course it's an aeroplane I like lol. Two things missing from your story tho. Apple pie, and the time they operated alongside the RCN on the HMCA Bonaventure.

My shame at the moment is my realisation that I haven't yet built one. How can I call myself a Canuck? Must rectify that situation soon.  ;D
