    We went up to Coningsby to see the BBMF during my jaunt to the UK in 2000 and they had the blue Spitfire (a Mk 18?) outside doing run ups….they went to full throttle on it (at least I have to assume they did!) and it was just so incredibly LOUD!! Everyone had their hands over their ears and I pitied the poor ramp rats sitting on the tail feathers to keep her ass end on the ground, what they must be going through…..but was a magnificent sound!

    Oh I doubt it’s out of print….or even the book you’re thinking of…..this one was published in England in 2005 and is called ‘The world encyclopedia of Battleships’ by Peter Hore…and it DOES include the HMS Agincourt, a rather impressive looking ship by standards of that time…tho I don’t recall reading anything about it firing all it’s guns at once (have to look again)…she DID carry seven gun turrets all named after days of the week! Lots of good, if brief, material in this book which gives me good reference material on the subject when I need it (but some of the photos need the captions revised….one chapter on WWII starts out with a photo of a line of battleships coming at you and the caption says they are Japanese, which they most definitely are NOT…)

    Glad y’all are finally discovering the Wings over the Rockies museum here in Denver…a great place…come on by and see it if ya get a chance….

    A question….was the X-wing a match for the Zero? Never heard…

    Have pics of that X-wing somewhere…..unfortunately the photos also have my ex-girlfriend in them, so I won’t pollute this site with THAT….
