Another great story lies behind the latest Chance Vought F-4U 1D Corsair that has just flown into the 1:72 scale Oxford Aviation World War II airfield.

The Vought F-4U Corsair was a single seater American fighter aircraft which saw service primarily in World War II. It was designed as a carrier-based machine and the F4U-1D version was an upgrade to carry a payload of rockets carried on permanent launching rails, as well as twin pylons for bombs or drop tanks. These modifications caused extra drag, but the additional fuel carried by the two drop tanks would still allow the aircraft to fly relatively long missions despite heavy loads. Other initial Vought Corsair design problems led to revised shorter wings being adopted to fit the limited hanger accommodation on board. Also a clear view cockpit canopy and the improved height of the pilot seat gave essential added visibility. Our Oxfords model incorporates the physical refinements of the F-4U- 1D variant.

The aircraft carrier USS Gilbert Islands was a Commencement-Bay class escort carrier of the US Navy. She was diverted from manoeuvres off Hawaii in April 1945 and deployed with an escort carrier force whose task was to close Okinawa. Aboard were her fleet of Vought F-4U Corsairs and the US Marine Corps VMF-512 Squadron. The USS Gilbert Islands arrived off the coast of Okinawa in May and during the ensuing Battle of Okinawa. VMF-512 aircraft blasted and strafed concrete dugouts, troop concentrations, ammunition and fuel dumps. Then they helped neutralize outlying Japanese airfields and installations. The squadron remained carrier based and at the end of the War, as part of the post-war drawdown of forces, VMF-512 was decommissioned on 10 March 1946.

'The Mad Cossack' was No. 26 in the Corsair fleet which took part in the Okinawa raid and was so named because of the white nose art. The art is printed on both sides of the front fuselage and the No. 26 appears in white on the edge of the engine cowling and on the upright tail fin. The aircraft body colour is a rich midnight blue and the printed decoration is all finished in white. The cockpit is moulded in green inside the bubble enhanced canopy.

Although not a lot is known about the pilots who flew 'The Mad Cossack', one was Lt Ron Spjeldet, who lived until he was 93 years old and went on to fight in the Korean War in the early 1950s.

Let’s Be Honest… I Bought This Hoping for Magic
Let’s be honest-anytime a product says “plumping” or “volume,” my expectations immediately split into two categories: absolutely nothing happens, or I convince myself something happened because I spent money on it. This one actually surprised me. The texture is lightweight but nourishing, and because it’s anhydrous, it feels a little richer without being greasy or heavy. I started using a small amount consistently in areas where my skin looked a little tired or less full, and over time my skin definitely started looking smoother, healthier, and more refreshed overall. One thing I really appreciate is that it doesn’t just sit on top of the skin making you shiny for five minutes and then disappear into disappointment. It absorbs well, layers nicely with the rest of my routine, and leaves my skin feeling soft instead of sticky. The biggest thing I noticed is that my skin just looks more “awake” and healthy lately-like I’ve been drinking enough water, sleeping properly, and making responsible life choices…which may or may not be true. I’ve tried a lot of skincare products that sounded impressive and did very little. This one actually earned a permanent spot in the routine.

Good product
I've used a few different volufiline’s and I like this one best. You get a tingling sensation that you don't get from other brands. Most of them are around the same price but this brand seems to have a bit of a larger bottle. I recommend purchasing this product. My smile lines are reducing significantly. I stopped putting it on my under eyes because I read somewhere it can make them worse. You also have to continue using it to keep the changes.

This makes my face feel amazing
I love how this makes my face feel! It’s still early to tell how effective it’ll be, but I saw friends yesterday that I hadn’t seen in almost a month and they commented how well rested and useful I looked! It was pretty flattering

Recommending with caution
I noticed a slight difference but it did cause some irritation around my eyes. I have very sensitive skin so it’s not that hard to imagine. I have hallows under my eyes and dark circles. It helped lighten them slightly but it also worsened puffiness that was so subtle you wouldn’t have even noticed it. So while it helped the hollows it also caused puffy bumps where people normally would get eye bags. I eye tried to apply with a queue tip just around the edge of the dark circle/hallow. Won’t be using again because I didn’t like the puffiness but I think it’s worth a try with the right application. If you are irritation and acne prone I wouldn’t go for this. It is an oil base and while it’s a thinner oil it still slides around the skin and can get places you don’t want. And to add some context I used this for about 2 weeks for me to see the noticeable difference. Everything prior to that could be placebo. Research online says it should take about a month but as I said, puffiness that was minor became voluminous and noticeable. Wish it was able to stay only where I put it!

SUPER OILY Consistency
If you're an oily girl like me, use with caution. This is SUPER oily. When I read serum in the product name, I thought of a gel like serum, not an oil. It is super greasy, so you may want to save this for nighttime skincare. It's too soon to see results but I at least wanted to send out a warning about how oily/greasy it is for my oily friends. If you have drier skin, you may love the super charged shine this lends. I make this kind of shine on my own and don't need more help in that area. Will definitely switch to nighttime use vs daytime.
