Anybody interested in aircraft on here?
Apparently Airfix (model company) are bringing out a model of the TSR2 in November, reckon this could make a lot of grown men who know weep!

[chuffmeister]

does this mean we need a plane section too :neenaw:

 

[Aidey]

yes, yes, yes and yes

 

[Jaws]

Well we have an ugly section, a pretty section, so I spose its only right we have a plain one too

 

[Aidey]

Yep, Buccaneer and Harrier

 

[Aidey]

Errr.... Mosquito?

 

[chuffmeister]

will the aircraft section be for fixed wing only or rotary wing aircraft too












contact, chocks away and whooooosh R#?

 

[Aidey]

Thats a good question Mr Chuff, although the answer is already provided, as in AIR craft. And there shouldnt be a problem for the pedants either as they are all BIRDS!

 

[Aidey]

Got me now Lumpy.

Not going as far back as the Bristol Fighter are we?

 

[Aidey]

Ah! Stupid me... Swordfish of course!

 

[chuffmeister]

On that premise Hovercrafts too as they fly.

ah yes but will the boat section try and claim hovercrafts too :neenaw:

I'm with Aidey on this one. Would contra rotating have cancelled it out. :dunno: Remember the Gannett and Shackleton? We need an aircraft smilie!

 

[Wolfie]

Wheres Hunter and Artemis?

wiltshire

next please

 

[Aidey]

Alright then Lumps, in at the deep end. Which was better in 1940, Spitfire 1a or Bf109e? And why? And whats the difference between A Bf109 and a Me109?

 

[chuffmeister]

We need an aircraft smilie!

a nice small one

or would u like it supersizing :dunno:

 

[Aidey]

Ah Lumpy, I am stupid after all. Ive just remembered the Swordfish official designation was also TSR2.

 

[Wolfie]

spitfire was better had a much tighter turning circle and therefore could out handle the bf.


difference between bf and me is just the name,

 

[Aidey]

Spot on Wolfie as to the name. As to the better air craft,. mostly its all down to the tactical situation at the time. The Hurricane could turn inside both a Spifire and 109 but wasnt a better aircraft overall. The real answer is that in 1940 the Spitfire had a much greater development potential than the 109 and so it proved.

Anyway, enough anoraking.
