    And the list of Luftwaffe aircraft allocated to the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) at Farnborough, Hants between 1939-45. The RAE facilities at Farnborough were utilized for the flight testing of German and Italian aircraft during the entire 1939-45 period.

    Regards Duggy
     

  • Thanks! PS do you fly 5% or 10% bio mixture?
     

  • Thanks and welcome to the hangar, not sure what you mean by 5% etc, but if you are referring to alcohol I use only German Bier.
