Excellent looking FSM, what is the event at Hendon BTW?

The Hendon Pageant, a living history festival – WW1 alone there’s going to be about 11 Royal Flying Corps living historians

The O/100 and O/400 were about half as big as the V/1500, they had 2 engines whilst the V/1500 had four (and was the first British bomber to have 4 engines)

I’ve been researching the Handley Pages in WW1 for nearly 2 years, so I did realise that, and I wasn’t aware that size and engine numbers decided as to whether it’s a strategic bomber or not……

See you there at Hendon – i’ll be one of the Royal Flying Corps Air Mechanics

Would be there with these guys http://www.43rdrecce.co.uk/ but i’m doing a WW1 event with other vehicles the same weekend, shame the two clash as both would be the highlights of the year.

I feel I must reply to being chastened by Tangmere 1940 (for whom I have a great respect). Whilst his defence of the young lady is laudable I would ask the question how is she qualified to appear sloppily dressed and pontificate upon the great icons of early air warfare. Perhaps she has a copy of “High in the Empty Blue” to refer to. And yes I saw the equally awful “Aces”.

How on earth does it matter if she’s ‘sloppily dressed’?! Is her view only worth listening to if she’s wearing a suit? I’m sure she does have a copy of ‘High in the empty blue’ as the author of it knows her – http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=147566&view=findpost&p=1420043

The most likely person to have shot him down did it with one of many .303 rounds, a Lewis gunner on the ground, also an Australian I believe – other options were Brown, a Vickers gunner, a Lewis gunner and various others popping away with SMLE’s – all of whom were of course using .303 rounds!

Starred in eh:rolleyes: Must get your autograph when i see you next:D

See you on Sunday then, i’ve even got a nice authentic pencil with me 😀
