future_tuskegee_airman Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Another aircraft I can't wait to get my hands on! I just wanted to take this time and opportunity to tell you I do appreciate your work! Keep it up! Quote
+Klavs81 Posted October 7, 2008 Author Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) If anybody can tell me the origin of the "Lee Mallory" reference and what it pertains to, you've got a beta slot. EDIT: Or, I should say, an Alpha slot. Edited October 7, 2008 by Klavs81 Quote
Svetlin Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Anything to do with a song named "That's The Way It's Going To Be", may be??? P.S. Just a wild guess, seemed spot on initially. Quote
+CrimsonRoamer Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Introducing the F-35: Lee Mallory Edition! If you're talking about the RAF big wings, then its Leigh-Mallory Quote
+Klavs81 Posted October 7, 2008 Author Posted October 7, 2008 Crimson Roamer gets it. Get it? The BIG WING?!?! AH HAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!! Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Oh, man. I actually went and investigated it, and wondered where the association with a "barely made it" San Francisco singer was with this aircraft. Wikipedia also mentioned Leigh-Mallory at the top, and found the Vice Air Marshall to be quite interesting, but still didn't see the connection. Big wings? Ga-roan. Luckily your 3D modeling is much better than your attempts at comedy... Quote
Rambler 1-1 Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Don't stop him! He's on a roll! Who knows what he might do next!? REALLY nice job on both -35's. Definetly top notch. Maybe we should start leaving offerings at your door... Quote
+Klavs81 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Posted October 8, 2008 I just flew a quick mission in IL2 flying 3 Spit Is against a gaggle of HE-111s with a bunch of Ron Goodwin music in the background. I'm feeling very English lately, for some reason. Quote
Dreamstar Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 I just flew a quick mission in IL2 flying 3 Spit Is against a gaggle of HE-111s with a bunch of Ron Goodwin music in the background. I'm feeling very English lately, for some reason. Nowt Wrong with that LOL..... AVM Leigh-Mallory was in charge of 3grp Fighter Command... the one that covered Norfolk upwards on the Left-hand side of the country ( Norfolk, Yorkshire, Tyneside etc.... ) its stated in numerous texts and the film Battle of Britain ( old film but still ace lol ) that his fighter sqaudrons were often late to the fight, choosing to attack the enemy bombers after they had already attacked the airfields of 2grp much to the annoyance of AVM Keith Park who's Squadrons in Kent and the Southeast took the brunt of the casualties and airfield damage during the Battle of Britain before they Luftwaffe turned on London. The "Big Wing" bit comes from Leigh-Mallory's much vaunted tactic of massed squadrons attacking the enemy formations simultaneously, thus creating one huge "big wing" of figher aircraft, But Keith Park didnt like it much cos the "Big Wing" was always late to the party and the airfields got hammered Quote
+Dave Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 You know I have to agree with an earlier post, I like the big wing version better. Quote
+starfighter2 Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 I like the small wings more :yes: - did someone say : F-104 :yes: Quote

+Gocad Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 (edited) Nah, the big wing version is better, although I have to admit that to me even the big wing version looks way to small to me...(I'm talking about the real aircraft here, not Klavs' model) Edited October 11, 2008 by Gocad Quote
+Klavs81 Posted October 11, 2008 Author Posted October 11, 2008 OMG CUMPAER 2 SUPERHORNTF NUMBER 1 USN FIGHTER SUPERFLANKER ATOOL MISSSEL!! GO!!! Quote
+Gocad Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 I probably deserved this...wait a sec, is that a new Supa Hornet there? Quote
+Dave Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 OMG that was funny. LEESTEN HERE BEEG PANTSS F35SEXPLaNe maEN....U cAnt bEEt SUPrahorny F-18F NAvee palin...it B da best.... Quote
+Gocad Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Pffft, Supa Hornets....there's only one plane I keep crawlin back to. It's the one in the foreground. Quote
+Dave Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Agreed, I have very little use for a Supa Bug. Quote
+Crusader Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 yessssssssssss.... SUUUUUUPA BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG !!!!1 :ph34r: Quote
+FastCargo Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 You know I have to agree with an earlier post, I like the big wing version better. I don't know...it looks a little 'stubby' to me... FastCargo Quote
+SayethWhaaaa Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I don't know...it looks a little 'stubby' to me... I dunno... the extra wing space makes a fully loaded wing seem less crowded. The A model carrying outer wing IRMs just looks a little off IMO (not the the TW sim model, the actual RL design of the outer wing rails). Yeah, I can't quite put my finger on it... Quote
+Dave Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I have to agree with Andrew, thew C model looks less crowded. But its still stubby. Quote
+Gocad Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I don't know...it looks a little 'stubby' to me...... FastCargo Hey, that tail looks familiar... Quote
