    Its either the following

    Hi All,

    Its either the following,

    HMS Indomitable or HMS Implacable

    Notice the “A” on the lower Cowling of the TBF-1C the above two ships Air Wing had the letter A assign as their ship Id.

    The antaneea thing in back is part of the Barrier system, should have the squadron for you sometime tonight.

    The Wildct is a F4F-3 a Eastern build one notice the cowling is a bit asqew like all Eastern Build most of the Wildcats that the FAA/RN got where Eastern Build aircraft. If I was to guess the time I would say later 43 before the Wildcats where trade for Corsairs.

    Brit. Round Engines

    So lets pretend we used the Hercules / Centaurus etc instead of the Cyclones etc.

    Out of the British aircraft that used both types of powerplant, which performed better and would further modifications / updates have enabled them to continue ?

    I dont know !

    None you fool only Yank Round engines can stand up why do you think we replace that wimpy Round engine that the UK build with a Lovely 3350 or 4360. 😀

    Oh I love the Twin corsair where do I sign up for doing the Flight Testing. :diablo:

    US Round Engines for ever :p 😀 :diablo:

    No me :p what are you talking about, I don’t see it how could you think such a thing. Round Engines for ever. and this is from a guy who used to own a Tiger Moth, if I could ever figure out how to put a round engine into a Moth 😮 then that would be great. Hum I wonder if I could hang a 680 on a Moth 😮 :diablo:

    OK Then………

    OK Guys and Gals,

    Frank Rohr the founder of Rohr Aircraft which became Rohr Industrys is my Great Uncle. I told you this was going to be hard but jeeze I thought AIB you were going to get it.

    As for the Company it merge with BF Goodrich about six years ago, those of you don’t know what we build well if you ever flew on any Western build Airliner then you have flow on a plane that has ROHR parts in it. most likely the engine pods and most of Boeings Landing Gear doors, flap actuators. Plus we build alot stuff for the Military and we have a Space Division that has build stuff for every Man Mission that NASA has ever sent up.

    Now I think I’m going to call the Navy quizs off for a while but don’t worry I have something new up my selve :diablo: 😮

    Cheers Crazymainer
