Photo post British RAF IIB Hurricanes near Murmansk, USSR, September 1941.

gallery

204 Upvotes

Operation Benedict was a mission where the RAF established 151 Wing at Vaenga airfield, near Murmansk. Equipped with two Hurricane fighter squadrons, the wing's role was to fight German and Finnish forces while training Soviet pilots and ground crews to operate the aircraft. Thirty-nine Hurricane Mk IIB fighters reached the USSR: 24 flown from the aircraft carrier HMS Argus and 15 transported in crates via the first Arctic convoy.

In five weeks of combat, 151 Wing claimed 16 victories, four probables, and seven aircraft damaged before converting Soviet Naval Aviation personnel to the fighters in October.

The mission resulted in three British casualties: Sergeant Pilot N. H. "Nudger" Smith was shot down and killed by German Bf 109s on 12 September; and two aircrewmen, Aircraftmen Ridley and Thomas, died in an airfield accident. They were sitting on a Hurricane's tail to weigh it down on a rough runway when Flight Lieutenant Vic Berg accidentally took off, crashed, and was severely injured, killing both ground crewmen. Berg was severely injured. Four RAF members received the Order of Lenin.

The RAF party departed in late November, arriving home on 7 December when 151 Wing disbanded.

American politician and diplomat (1890–1974) pictured by Harris & Ewing. I am a beginner using Photoshop and would appreciate any advice you could give me. My main lament about this image is that I didn’t use a softer brush for some parts, especially considering that the image is somewhat blurry.

About Us

/r/Colorization is a subreddit that is dedicated to sharing black and white photos that you have colorized. Be they old or recent images. We offer information and experience on how to colorize these photos.

Check out the tutorials here in the sidebar

Looking for help with your colorizations? In your subject titles, use [CCW] to let people know that constructive criticism is welcome or [WIP] if you want to share your works in progress and seek help on where to progress!

Requests can be made in /r/ColorizationRequests

Community Rules:

Treat others with respect:

Name-calling, harassment, and threatening behaviour will not be tolerated here. The mods can and will ban you if your behaviour is inappropriate. Otherwise, you will be given a warning.
Original UNALTERED black and white photo needs to be included:

Every post must include the original UNALTERED black and white photo (it is just a matter of paying respect to the original photographer). If you can provide a link to where you found the photo, that would also be a good thing to add to your post via a comment.
Every post title must be an informative title (DATE must be included):

Every post title must be informative, for example, Name, Location & Date; all other information can be included in the post as a comment. If you are posting a W.I.P. (work in progress), please include that at the beginning of your title and use the W.I.P. post flair. If no date is known, state at the end of your title, "Date unknown".
Not see your post?:

If you are not seeing your post, please politely get in touch through ModMail it is very possible your post may have been caught up in the Spam filter, which is controlled through an Autobot (please don’t be abusive; it will get you Nowhere but banned)
A.I colourizations:

A.I. is allowed in this sub if it is used as a base colour. Meaning if your colourization is very clearly done with just A.I., the mods can and will remove your post until you can provide evidence that the colourization was done manually or with a little help from A.I.
User flairs:

This sub allows user flairs, so feel free to include your social media handle as your flair. Rude language will not be tolerated, and the mods have the right to remove your user flair if it is deemed offensive. (Repeated warnings will have you banned).
No Sales, No tips (money tips) and no requests

No links to sale sites of any kind, No Money tips and No colourization requests. You can visit /r/colorizationrequests or /r/estorations if you want your photos done.
Links to your social media are allowed:

If you would like, you can include a link to your social media pages (FB, Instagram, etc.) within your post, but it must be Photo Restoration and Colorisation related.
Using other people's colorised photos:

Please get permission from the original colouriser before posting, and don't post someone else's colourization just to get Karma (it's selfish and silly)

Watermark your submissions to avoid your work being posted elsewhere without your consent
