Just a quick question..........................does anybody know what LWB Rees was flying when he won his VC? Was it a pusher type?

Many thanks,
Trebrys.

Hi Steve,

Many thanks...................and thanks for being so quick too! I just couldn't find my stuff to confirm it, tho I had suspected it was a DH2.
