I would say certainly, although I have no experience. Look at the sight on a Lee Enfield rifle and see how the aiming point has to be raised against the distance scale, if they knew how to do that, then with aircraft it was a piece of p1ss. Bullet drop was known and allowed for when the first cannon were cast in Sussex.

You sure the rations were not the cords themselves. I remember in the mid ’50s, being issued with thermal vests and long johns which had rubbery buttons. We were told the buttons were edible in emergency, such as when we were stranded in the Arctic or wherever.

Further to the last, here is one in action

Thanks for the pic of the Weeks Mosquito. I remember going up to Booker to watch progress on the restoration by PPS. I believe they flew it out which was a brave move.

Ah well, I will attempt to watch it. I still remember my mother taking us out into the back garden to see the glow in the sky which was Canterbury burning, we lived about 10 miles away.
The next year I attended secondary school there, half the school was gone and the remainder of the buildings patched up. Some classes were taught in wooden huts and a barrage balloon was stationed in the playground.
I still don’t like to hear thunder at night. And I still don’t trust Germans.

Fear not Waco, 50 is but a small step along the way.
Here am I at the grand old age of 21, just eligible to vote for our wonderful politicians. Just stepped down from my last flight in a DH 98 Timber Terror.

Next step is 80, would there be a DH 80 available ???

Very, very, well done to all concerned

The right way to go
