A good idea as far as it goes, provided he backs it up by providing more than just good PR. Decent hospitals, proper counselling, generous care for...
The Blenheim 1F's gun-pack had four machine-guns as opposed to a Spitfire's eight. Both the CO and Duke-Woolley would have known that. Sounds like a...
Does anything strike you as unusual about this CH53 ? Start with the pictures of the whole machine. If you were to see it from a distance it would...
I'm sure I remember you from a different forum; I remember the 120 Sqdn connection. I think you used a different name then! Welcome back!
