Does anyone know if the planes featured in both are in anyway genuine or total repro's?

Alex :D

Both total repo's I believe.

Well, Biggles never mentioned the wavering engine note of the Camel :D . I really wonder if it could have been that bad in service. As well as being even more of a beast to control precisely than its reputation suggests, it's hard to imagine the gun synchronisation achieving any acceptable reliability at all. Yeah, I know they used to jam a bit more than now and again, but with that up-and-down engine note it's hard to imagine getting off more than a 1 or 2-second burst...

Regards,

MikB
