Morris Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 strange thing happend when i started a new mission. Yes.... a locomotive was standing in the middle of the runway. I took some good fly to get through them. 23 March 1917 @12h57 St-Pol-sur-Mer Airfield. maybe the railways bought the airfield? m Quote
JimAttrill Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 At least you didn't meet it at 1000 ft Quote
+Olham Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 As long as it doesn't drive... But imagine it heading your direction with 120 mph while you have to start magnetos and get airborne! Quote
+Hasse Wind Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Good thing it didn't take off and go after you - it wouldn't be easy to shoot down that kind of steel monster with a machine gun! Quote
+Olham Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 I'm not so sure there. Udet described in his book, how he attacked a tank (!) with his machine guns. If I remember right, he forced the crew to leave it. Quote
+Hasse Wind Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Knowing Udet, he may have been just bragging. And even he would have been stunned if he had met that tank at 10 000 feet. Quote
+Olham Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Might have just said to himself: I should stop drinkin' for a week! Quote
Morris Posted December 16, 2009 Author Posted December 16, 2009 thanx for the support gentlemen. m Quote
+Polovski Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Which squad Morris? I tried RNAS-4 at at around that time and I can see a train a few 100 yards south on the tracks fine as it should be. Are you in campaign? Quote
