    WL795 Rosalie

    What is curious is that although it appears that 795 was nicknamed Rosalie , the original engineers panel had the name Zebedee written on it.

    Maybe 795 had a spring in its step on a few landings 😀

    WWII Invasion – without the US ?

    Pains me to say it, but in my opinion Britain would’ve been royaly screwed without the yanks, just by the fact of shear numbers & manufacturing capabilties alone is a good enough argument, before getting into any other details.

    Equally, without the Britain & it’s traditional allies, the US wouldn’t have been able to launch a successful invasion either.

    Sort of “one all” if you ask me.

    two 22,000Ib Grand Slams would be approx 20 tons, a mighty uplift, even for a B29, so I’d wager on a spot of confusion going on there.

    One good thing would certainly see the exclusion of Scottish MPs from Westminster.

    Here’s a wee piper to send them on their way http://rebel-v8.co.uk/images/smilies/apiper.gif

    Got a photo of it just entering service with Baz’s private airforce

    & then, as if by magic, I find myself recalled from leave & conscripted onto the ground handling flight, within that very same organisation.

    I was paid most handsomely though, receiving a magnificent 1:100 Stuka in a presentation box, for my efforts. 😀

    No doubt it happened,but would someone dangling in a parachute be an easy target to hit though? If you look at the size of target, rate of descent & closing speed, plus what other fighters were up to in the vicinity, it may not be as simple as all that.

    I have a few books that mention collisions with parachutists, all accidental, I find that to be more likely.
