As you can see this 109 crashed at Calais. I've always really like the nose of this one ever since I saw it in my Edward Bishop Battle of Britain book. You could buy a series of these books for about a $2.50 each in the 60s and early 70s. Ya I'm old. Any in the book there is a Luftwaffe man in swim trunks but he is out of frame here helping to get this thing out of the water. They did retrieve it. smile

Nice!
Did it crash due to combat damage, or did it run out of juice!

Cool posting

Hackl just an FYI -if you slow the time compression down two or three notches and pause the game, the propeller blades blur nicely. This will not work if the epilepsy filter is ON

Here's an example(I can delete the pic if you'd like Hackl, just wanted you to have a look)

Wow that is nice. No keep it up I'll try it out next time though for sure. Trooper I'm not sure I see the word Spitfire in the notes so maybe he ran into someone so to speak.
