    Being Vietnam war vets and all I assume it’s fair enough to reflect on the ubiquitous Bell Iriquous “Huey” here.

    But of course they’re still active all over the world and indeed one just took off in front of me over Wellington harbour a few minutes ago.

    Made me stop and think … where does the name “Huey” come from?

    Is it simply a derivation of the official model designation … UH?

    Gnome yes it comes from UH

    Ok Folks,

    I’m going to end this right now and I’m not going to be nice about it. 😡

    Damien here in the United states when you go to work for the Pentagon you sign a Bloody LOAC if you open your goddamn mouth to the press, Russians,or any one then you are in violation of this paper. For the Record folks I sign one of these so yes I take it very seriously and yes this person(s) should be brought to trail now I feel different about how they should be dealt with you have a problem with that then fine but to sit their and say its OK to release ongoing Military information and put people lives at risk then your Daff and don’t know one thing about the military and god help one of these people who could be one of my childhood friends get killed.

    Now for the Bloody prision two differnt things here these where active duty non-special forces person. So lets get over this stupid comparing there is nothing to compair end of subject and if you really want to discusse this then bring oit on but beward I slowly losing my a will to control things.

    End of subject

    You seem to like calling me a Nazi and seem to don’t care about the lives of UK or US Special Operation Soliders so I really don’t have anything else to say to you so now I will go out and Burn my cross and put on my German Marching Music Seig Heil.

    Errr… the EU actually contains a number of countries in which no US soldier ever set foot during WW2. Like I said, do try and keep up. 🙂

    Anyway, if we’re going to play the “If it wasn’t for….” game, if it wasn’t for the French you’d still be subjects of the Crown.

    So there. :p

    Really Grey Area, lets see during WWII the Germans invade all of know Europe, except Spain, Swiss, and the Sweds. oh by the way we had soldiers in all of these countrys during WWII. So that leaves us with Poland, France Neatherland, Finland, Luxenburg, Hungry, Austria, Belghim, Romaina, Czech Republic(WWII Borders) Bulgaria,Greece, Albaina, Portugal and the USSR(WWII Borders). So would you like me to break it down by units in each of the countrys or you willing to consede your wrong because I can name at least one unit for each of these Countrys.

    Now for your last Statement, I don’t think you really no much about the US War for Independance do you. If you really won’t this topic then I suggest we start another thread. But be warned my Senior Thesis in College was on this very subject and also I’m a memeber of a War of Independance Re-Actors group.

    I’m not conviance guys,

    Here is why, one look at the Stick its not the same the Brewster had the duel button on the left part of the grip while the TBF had only one the reason I know this is because I have a complete control Colume in my collection from a TBF-1C Tarpon.

    Next only the Brewster Topeado Bomber has the Ring Site none of the Grumman or Eastern had the Ring. But I do have to admitte I was wrong on the teloscoptic site.

    Also if you look between the Artif. Horiz. and Alterm. there is a placard Brain photos don’t have this also on the lower part of the Instrumnet apnal there is no placards. I doulbe check my panal today and there is no placards located on either mu FAA/RN or US Navy example. So I’m going to stand on the SB2A till I see better proof 😀

    This is great fun James :diablo:

    Ok Folks,

    My turn to respond, I guess you all aren’t reading what I said.

    Damien so you think I’m a Nazi may I ask how you came to this conclusion, do you know me at all. have you ever meet me in person talk to me on the phone? The answer is this No so I really would like to know how come you think I’m some Jack Boot Goose Stepping Seig Heil Fanatic.

    Gnome When you join the US Military you sign an Oath to Defended the US Constition not the EU Charter or the Un Charter, only the US Military can prosacute US military personal, the UK didn’t sign it for the same reason.

    Plawolf I can’t beleive you are sitting their and compairing the Prision Sititation to revealing ongoing military operations. Yes the prision stuff should have come out, but do you really think that Some Level Red Clearance person has the right to release sentive ongoing operational reports and information.

    You all seem to have a quick memory loss, where was the so-called European out cry during the Cold War Huh their wasn’t any why becasue you like the idea that the CIA,MI6 and US Special Force carried out these types of operations, what you all think we got are information from Sat.Com stuff please we all know it was the ground forces that got most of the Intel.

    So if you all want to call me a NAZI or a NEO-CON. then find the last time I look the EU was still free thanks to United States but you all seem to forget that now don’t you.

    Also if you are going to take personal pop shots at me then expect my next responce to be a little more militaint.

    Hi All

    FYI the TBF/TBM never had the Telscoptic Bomb site the n big tube thing sitting in the middle of the window.

    I’m going to be looking at my Buccaner photos latter today so I hope to get a better idea.

    James is their anyway you can blow up the emblem on the foot petel.

    …why? Only the rouge bit was relevant to my response.

    Incidentally, “tried and shot”? Regardless of the verdict, is that? There were some chaps with colourful flags in Germany in 1933 that had similar ideas.

    Damien,

    Are you saying the USA is equal to Nazi German, 😡 and that all of us who take the oath to serve are Country can at will break such trust just because we don’t like the present person sitting in the White House.

    It comes down to this folks we all know that we have been going ina nd out of Countrys since the Cold War. Its a given the only relaible itel is the stuff you get first hand on the ground.

    What I’m upset about is that some low life betrade their oath and should be dealt with. If we had set example sometime back then this crap wouldn’t be going on.

    Now you don’t have to agree with my stance on how they should be dealt with but you have to agree that miltary Secrets are that Secrets and by leaking them they put people live at risk.

    Hi James,

    On futher review it is a Brewster build aircraft but not the SBN but a SB2A-1 Buccaneer the -1 had the Bomb Scope while the the-2 didn’t.

    Why do you think it is in South America.

    Hi James,

    It looks to be a Brewster SBA/SBN-1, my first thought was a Curtis SBC but there is no shadow of the Top Wing.

    Also notice it has a Telascobic Bombsite and the early style Bomb release lever.Also if you can look at the emblem on the foot petal I think you will see its appears to be a Brewster emblem.

    Ok Guys,

    Damien if you are going to qoute me please us the whole qoute has I said the Eu like the idea off the record that we are doing this for what ever reason they choose not to publicly call on Iran to come clean.

    Grey Area so I guess, the UK, and ither Countrys who have step up to fight Terrisiom as part of this using your words Axis of Cerise.

    Wow I geuss you must have forgot the Cold War then Huh come on folks lets get real if the Irains produce any Nuc. stuff they are going to make it avaible to anyone of the Terrist groups for the right price and in some case they will just give it to them outright. But I geuss thats ok with the EU then.

    But it still doesn’t go back to my origianl statement that these people put lives at risk and should be tried and shot(My Opion only).

    Yea so I’m a Neo-consv. on this item but I signed the same piece of paper they did and know exactly what the penatly was if I open my mouth. May be if we had one example then all this BS that has happen over the past 30 years might have not happen.
