However a Hurricane was almost twice as likely to be shot-down as a Spitfire during the same period.

Unsurprising really, there were approximately twice as many Hurricanes than Spitfires in action.

Not even warm.

I had been thinking about this for a while, but BSG beat me to it.

Actors come, go and times change.
What was good for my generation when the Bond movies started, is old hat now, so no one under the age of 60+ can be a reasonable judge.

If we could all have been 20 something at the time each of the movies was released, had the hindsight and foresight of things past and to come, we would all be able to offer a fair appraisal.
As that isn’t possible, the best thing to do is treasure your favourite actor, which for me isn’t possible, cos I take it for granted that the films are only made to make loads’a money for the makers.:dev2:

It looks a bit like the DINFIA I.A.38 Naranjero, but appears to have more dihedral and larger vertical stabilisers.

If anyone wants to see one of the worst pages on the whole of the internet for spelling, this has to be a leading contender!!!

🙁 I had to watch the last episode of The Commander, but caught a few minutes during the commercial breaks.

As for watching it on the internet:

Sorry this show is for UK audiences only.

Bummer!:mad:

I’m sorry Atomic Sheep, but I must agree with AgCat on this one.

I’ve been an aeromodeller, on and off, for 60 years, in 1989 I scratch built my childhood dream, a 1/10 scale HE-111 that took me 5 months @ 17 hrs per day, 7 days per week.

To attempt a full scale build from scratch is another thing entirely!
Can you explain to me and anyone else interested, what qualifications you have and how much research you’ve done on airframe construction etc?

Do you really want to end up an old man, with a partly built dream in your shed/garden/hangar?

My hat is off to you if you honestly believe your project is realisable and I say, go for it, but cross all the Ts and dot all the Is before starting!

Better a folder full of info, than an expensive, never to be finished shell?

Only an older guy’s honest opinion! 😀

If you want to look cool and make a statement, walk, and end up making an even bigger carbon footprint. 😀

Not all French, but there is an amazing collection of aircraft, covering the years, 1903-1913 listed here and the archives are easily searchable:
