Hope you have a god one!!

Amen, Peter :p

There are two things that strike me about the Battle.

1. Air superiority (or supremacy) was not in place so the Battle was likely and dig get trounced on by the Luftwaffe.

2. Fairey made and still were to make aircraft for the Royal Navy in roughly the same configuration e.g. three positions of pilot, nav and observer/gunner. This config is also true for most other naval-borne light bombers in WW2. Why then were we messing around still with Stringbags? Would the Battle have not been better in RN service before Barracudas and Avengers were introduced?

Rather than waiting for passing traffic, you could start promoting this forum amongst your mates and start something of your own… 🙂

P.S. We are watching 😉

Ping Roger, how much AW history has MAM managed to preserve? Apologies as I know your present sit with them 😮

Would you also propose to shot all pheasants? 😉

The parakeets were on Titchmarsh’s BBC1 nature programme this week.

Stunning shots, I really like the light in number 7. You can post non-airshow shots on this forum. Thank you Consul – I want a go now. 😀

If that is indeed true, would you trust a television company to be democratic? 😉
