Olham 164 Posted March 16, 2010 Widow, as I see your constant sorrows about not having a Snipe, here is a painting ar least. Hope, Russel Smith won't mind - this and so many more can be found in the Galleries over at the Aerodrome's "WW1 Aviation Art Gallery": http://www.theaerodrome.com/gallery/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted March 16, 2010 Great Picture!..Barker's Snipe too...thanks Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Check Six 2 Posted March 18, 2010 I swear I had nothing to do with this apart from posting the pic (which already makes me a target to UK_Widowmaker). I recently undertook to scan all the Society's negatives, and found this amongst them, just after reading the post by UK_W about the plant at Ham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted March 18, 2010 My god, each time I see the thin wires or the way rope held something together, I really wonder how they dared to get up in these crates! Does anyone know, why the wheel spokes were always covered with linnen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know, why the wheel spokes were always covered with linnen? I believe it was simply to keep the mud out. I don't think that anyone thought it would improve the aerodynamics or reduce drag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morris 2 Posted March 18, 2010 the rope is there to tie urself up after capture. It will be great to have snipes in P4 so we can shoot the crap out of them. m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
