Description

A Curtiss Kittyhawk IV in the Historic Hangers at Hendon. This always was a favourite in my younger years. It must have instilled fear in the opponents though! Clive

That is a great paint job, and menacing. I wonder how many different American fighter craft have had shark jaws painted on them?

Cool shot Clive. The Austin K2 in the background looks a bit like "katy" from "Ice Cold In Alex"

Brilliant...painted on so many aircraft types but just looks so 'right' on the 'Kittyhawk'...have to agree with 'Max' about the K2 too....does that give our age away?? :-)

There is a tale to this aircraft and its paintscheme (tooooo long for here, see link above).. The squadron number on the side of the fuselage has a question mark.. Very odd huh? Great shot of the teeth.. But, of course, American, German and other RAF Aircraft used it as well.. Great looking though and you're right, I would not have liked to of seen it in my rear view mirror!
