With 1000 pounders never release below 1500' or you'll blow yourself out of the sky explode

If your strafing a heavily armed airfield never return for a second run dizzy

Never fly straight and level in the combat zone duh


Nice screenies Moggy thumbsup

Took that screenshot ages ago, probably shortly after the Halifax model was produced by The Firm. It's still one of my favourites.

Moggy. The Gladiator was never a bomber of any type. wink

Maybe that's the problem?
