Doing a PR19_Kit....., nearly!

As we all know our resident member Kit has been known to fool the odd official from time to time.  

While this particular thread does not reach the dizzy heights of Kit`s prowess, this link was posted on another forum and I ask you to turn to page 3.

Now while it states `Captured Lancaster`, the story relates to a Shorts Stirling with the following two pictures which are obviously a Stirling as well.

And then you get to picture 3 which is a Lancaster.    (That`s my Lancaster from about 5 years ago).

Made my Monday anyway.

Hehehe, I LOVE it! 

Nothing quite like taking the rise of the establishment, is there? 

That looks a cracking Lanc, is it on here anywhere, and if not, why not?

I`ll dig out the photo`s a bit later. I think they were archived on Photobucket somewhere.

That is pretty wild !

Love it! Alvis fooled people a few years back with his Fortcaster, and I got an e-mail from someone who was taken in by my Rayador.

At least they have a link under the photo, that brings to another forum:
http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/aircraft-picture-requests/luftwaffe-lancaster-38096-2.html

where somebody recognized it as a model....even if warhistory didn't take the trouble of reading....

LOL! Good one! 

[Geoff]

[Howard of Effingham]

It's amazing how many captured aircraft, vehicles, and even vessels ended up in the markings of the captors.
Good example!
