UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Saw a wonderful piece of AI flying today. It was an Alb DV...he'd been shot up by one of my wingmen (a long way off) but I watched him as he desperately tried to control his stricken plane...then at about 150-200 ft, he lost control completely, and bought the Farm. Have to say, I felt quite sorry for him... that's something I never witnessed in OFF.... quite amazing! Edited December 13, 2013 by UK_Widowmaker 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beanie 4 Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) You wait years for a Snipe and the first thing you do is crash it - the CO will have something to say about that! I don't have WOFF yet - how does the Snipe handle? Edited December 13, 2013 by Beanie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tranquillo 10 Posted December 13, 2013 How utterly careless of you, UK 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauksbee 103 Posted December 13, 2013 I just knew Widowmaker would be back among us as soon as he strapped on that Snipe! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjw 48 Posted December 13, 2013 Just thinking about your forum handle widow, and looking at the snipe and thinking.......how utterly appropriate! :D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted December 13, 2013 haha...Yes Beanie..She handles beautifully...Out turns most (if not all) of the Germans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted December 13, 2013 You wait years for a Snipe and the first thing you do is crash it - the CO will have something to say about that! Yeah, Widow doesn't even need enemies to bring him down - he can easily handle that part himself. Mmuahahahahaaa!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptSopwith 26 Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Great post, Widow! Gave me quite a good laugh this morning. And about that Snipe, I'd say you bent some of the main support spars but like the other say, some straightening, a little elbow grease, and some PC-10 doping, and it'll be good as new! And take it easy on those landings! Those Snipes don't grow on trees, you know! Edited December 13, 2013 by _CaptSopwith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theultimat 5 Posted December 13, 2013 Snipes may not have grown on trees, but some other kites sure did! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
almccoyjr 7 Posted December 13, 2013 Strange, I don't see it listed in Axis aircraft files, but you obviously met your first Siemens-Schuckert D.IV. plug_nickel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted December 13, 2013 You'll be smiling on the other side of your face Olham my dear friend...when you get one on ya tail! ;) Yeah, I guess I will. Due to several reasons I will only get WOFF in a couple of days or so. It would be too nasty to order it now, and then not being able to fly it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
von Baur 54 Posted December 13, 2013 Widowmaker, the hun only shot it up a bit. It was you at the controls when it crashed. Clearcut case of "pilot error" if you ask me (which you didn't). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayfarer 5 Posted December 13, 2013 Today hasn't been the very best of days, and I don't usually have a cruel sense of humour - but your post gave me the first real laugh of the day, thanks! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted December 13, 2013 In that case Wayfarer..I'm pleased it made you smile, and I hope your day improves (Friday 13th was always a bad omen) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayfarer 5 Posted December 13, 2013 Thanks, I just saw your next thread and that's pretty amusing as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimAttrill 24 Posted December 14, 2013 Errrr... does that Snipe not have the markings of no 139 squadron which was a Bristol Fighter squadron in Italy? Barker won the VC in a Snipe, but that was back in France. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shredward 12 Posted December 14, 2013 That is Barker's Snipe, poor bugger. Hope he makes it! From what I hear, he deserves the VC for that fight. Cheers, shredward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted December 14, 2013 . Widowmaker, I thought you'd treat your lady better than that after waiting so long for her. tsk tsk Truth be told, I was flying the Snipe earlier this AM and ended up making her look quite similar to yours Sir. . .
