I wonder if Sauron drops in now and again to check on his thread. Maybe he will post a comment in due course. wave

There was quite a few of those over the years. wink


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Too right. Check out this farce. An aircraft that should have flown - but in the hands of that bunch of idiots, never had a chance! rofl

I immediately spot the lack of nav lights, strobe, insufficient instruments for night and IFR flight, not to mention the extreme rearward C of G due to wrong distribution of payload! wink


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

Yes, definitely has the Vultee lineage about it, but looks like P-40 gear and an Avenger cowl, and rudder. The A-31 had a zero incidence wing which caused it to fly nose up resulting in poor visibility so they swept the middle section back giving it an awkward inverted gull wing appearance, only one example survives in a museum in Camden I believe.

My edit was change from Brits to Ozzies.

About a year or so ago some nutter Brit, on another board, was going on about the RAFs lack of a dive bomber. He was 'hot' on the Vultee.

Go again Dux.

Chaps,

KK,

The Fleet Air Arm had a dive bomber: The obsolescent Blackburn Skua which sank the Konigsberg in April 1940. Even if the RAF had one at that stage of the war it wouldn't have fared any better than the Ju87 - and probably far worse when considering the fate of the Battle a few weeks later. nope

By Gad! This Cabernet-Shiraz-Merlot is going down a treat this Christmas Eve. Cheers, chaps!

Lockheed PV2 I think... impossible to identify sub-type (PV2D was hard nosed with an 8 gun battery).

Development of the Ventura (PV1)
