Just here to make sure that this isn’t in the list...
Looking at those sites, there is a couple of stories that mention “trimming the trees”. There’s another pic of P-47 there with a smashed up fuselage around the engine intake and you just kinda wonder “how on earth did they do that?”
The YB-40? A B-17 that had leveled up in the guns?
Came for insanity. Not disappointed.
I read somewhere that someone coming ashore in one of thr first DDay waves reported seeing a “Kilroy was here” on the beach defences. I wonder if one of those X-craft divers had a crayon and a sense of humour.
I’m kinda curious as to the little puff of white smoke after the round fires. I take it that it forms the same function as swabbing out the barrell but is it positive pressure in the turret that blows debris put when they open the breech or a blast of CO2 to estinguish embers or is it something else?
Tanks. Russian solution to just about everything isn’t it?
Was the A-10 ever offered for sale to other countries?
I take it that the plan was originally a minor support detachment established at RAAF Tindal (a couple of spares, some techs, some practice bombs, a couple of liaisons, etc) and Tindal becomes a destination for B-1s to fly to every couple of weeks. There’s a decent air-gunnery range near it so that’s the cover. It’s a…
For a sense of scale, I’m imagining that the little flashes you see around the base of the explosion are artillery shells going off.
Could they line the deck with asbestos or a non-poisonous-asbestos-substitute (“I can’t believe it’s not asbestos!”)?
There is no doubt that North Korea’s test launch of a SLBM is a potential game-changer, but just because the missile shown in the photos appeared to safely clear the water and climbed out through low-altitude doesn’t mean that the missile is fully capable of traveling thousands of miles to a specific target.
Sorry, who was the model?
What’s written on the canopy at 5:15?
Let’s find out...
Just followed the link to the SAS v. IRA article and see that it happened in the freakin’ service station in the Tornado photo!
