I noticed the other day when watching the filme Cruel Sea the word “INERT” stamped quite clearly on the side of the Depth Charges in the scene where they fire them off to attack a sub. Funny but I’ve watched that film so many times and never spotted it. It’s so obvious! A bit like the Star Wars stormtrooper head on door frame gaf.

Wiping the slate clean in terms of what we know happened in ww2 and the American effort I think it would be entirely possible that we could have won the war.

So there we are alone facing adversity, so we need to change our ideas and tactics. Perhaps notable leaders are sacked, less prominant persons appointed to critical areas. This could have a major impact to our tactics and technology.

The war may be a more long drawn out process. From 5 to maybe 10 or more years to resolve. A lot can happen (technologically) in that time. We do not necessarily have to invade in 44.

Perhaps we may have seen an escallation of development of Jet and computer technology. This could lead to some form of low level precision capability for striking ships or uboats. Maybe with guided munitions, hunter killer torpedoes or limited nuclear arms.

We may resort to chemical and biological attacks on Germany.

Lets not assume we will fight the same war without the Americans.

Very interesting, thanks.

Totally amazing and a little depressing knowing I’ll never be that good.
Love the little details in the turrets.

While watching the credits for Piece of Cake I noticed Carl Schofield, a name which rings a bell in the 80’s 90’s.
Is he still around and what did he used to fly?

Looks fishey. Why would you be filming that aircraft just on the off-chance it might take flight?

£14’000 and it doesn’t float. Bit of a design floor that.
