I remember seeing that pic for the first time way back in the 60s. It is a very impressive shot with the Me410 turning away after a firing pass. That hole in the B17’s wing looks like it came from below.

If they do make a new film the big question will be “what will be the name of the dog?”

😀

Whoops, sorry

I see a chap at Sywell a couple of months ago, dressed as a LAC, all of 65 years old and hadnt had a wash for almost as long, well judging by the smell when we passed him!

Umm ….. maybe he was the real thing and hadn’t changed his uniform for a while.

However speaking of reenactors, we do have a fairly thriving interest in it in Australia, but it is relatively small. The thing that makes me laugh are the American ACW reenactors who mostly are about 3 times the size in all directions of the real soldiers of the period.

Interesting use of blurry pics, especially by those normally efficient Germans.

After one sees all the aircraft of the Napkinwaffe one really is at a loss as to why they lost.

Oh I know – they were great at producing single prototypes but it was actually the idea of factories to produce them in that completely eluded the Nazis, that and the fact that they always produced blurry unreadable blueprints. 😀

A flypast of pigeons?!! 🙂

Great stuff. Cheaper than the BBMF, I suppose. Don’t tell the MOD. It might give them ideas.

Beat me to it, but one must admit that the BBMF doesn’t actually bomb the audience.

😀

It is a 430, and no body said it looks de Havilland:)

Looks like a decapited Dragon Rapide.

Oh yes I forgot them – I suspect that fire rate would have been slow
