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!

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?

Just thinking about your forum handle widow, and looking at the snipe and thinking.......how utterly appropriate! :D

Yeah, Widow doesn't even need enemies to bring him down - he can easily handle that part himself.

Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

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! :biggrin:

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.

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!

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.

That is Barker's Snipe, poor bugger. Hope he makes it!  From what I hear, he deserves the VC for that fight.

Widowmaker, I thought you'd treat your lady better than that after waiting so long for her.  tsk tsk :grin:

 

Truth be told, I was flying the Snipe earlier this AM and ended up making her look quite similar to yours Sir.
