Make 'em have it Phil! It's being cantankerous and outspoken that keeps you going.

Yup. He's not in the Windsor lineage so therefore the next in line of succession is Charles.

Nope, I wouldn't have to invite someone like that because I'm already there. I've stopped giving a damn about what other people think about what I say or how I say it. The only censoring I do now is I avoid dropping F-bombs or C-bombs in front of my mother. Other than that, if you're thin-skinned don't start an argument or discuss politics/social issues with me because you'll probably get your feelings hurt. On the up side, you'll never be unaware of my stance on anything.

Philip was born on Corfu. His mother, Princess Alice, was the great granddaughter of Queen Victoria. His father was the 4th son of King George of Greece.


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.

RS, this EF was wrapped, but came before the RAF Typhoon, sorry to be a pendant but had this pointed out to me by a Luftwaffe colleage...apparently the Typhoon was a nasty WW.2 aircraft that was bad news for German tanks. goodnight

Not as bad as what is claimed. Tho they did wreck havoc on support vehicles.

It was a Canadian Spitfire (412 Squadron) that shot up Rommel's car.

Support vehicles are more important targets, anyway.

The Typhoon was one of my top 10 aircraft to fly in IL-2 1946. Loved firing those rocket salvos against enemy convoys.

Oh yes....my second favourite plane. The Tempest was almost too easy in EAW but it was great fun.
