Rummaging through the shed today and found this piece in an old newspaper from 1941. Might interest our Warhawk ;)

Thanks Dave, nice article.
They were a different looking aircraft the Tomahawk, very sleek.

I'll say Dave! Nice shot, if only we can read the name on the cowl

Certainly a jump up from the Lysander, Gladiator and Gauntlet

Mind you, its not all over after DAF 1941. Do you know that they were used in several Tac R Squadrons in the European theatre,...out of the UK?

True.

Forgot to mention per original pic that is F/O Peter Turnbull on the left, later skipper of 76Sqn RAAF at Milne Bay 1942, and on the right is F/O J H Saunders in Syria. 3Sqn RAAF Mid 41
