What a talented Bunch you all are?...I feel such a damn NOOBIE!!! :blush2:

Oh dear!..I knew this would happen!... I just start thinking what a great piece Bullethead has written..and along comes Rabu with a very well written piece as well, but taking a differing stance!.... Now what am I going to do?...as I am one of those unfortunate people who gets stuck right in the middle!!..... I would love to be able to say that the 'truth maybe somewhere in the middle'....but of course..it rarely is there either! Think I need another Coffee..... I have never been to war, and am one of the lucky generation in the UK, of being about the only ones in our history, not to have been 'forced' to set forth with a Club, Sword or gun in their hands...for which I am eternaly grateful...and trust and hope that my 12 yr old son will also escape such horror!! All I can foresee is the words of (Einstein was it?) please correct me if I'm wrong.... who said "I don't know what weapons will be used to fight WW3...But WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones" The only part I would disagree with, is our being reffered to in the same sentence as 'Animals' I don't know of any animals who would kill for pleasure, and torture and maim members of their own family.... and the world would be a truly green and pleasant land, without our ruination of it

I agree... Bullet head has that proverbial "Way with Words"...And you really should think seriously about writing about your experiences m8

They are just anal retentives...Home taping is killing Music?..yeah, right! Good Vid BTW

We must'nt forget of course that he was 'Bounced' by McCudden's flight...he had already made short work of two SE5a's...and perhaps, by the time he had realised he was under attack, escape was not possible..So he had no choice but to try and fight his way out

Very nice!!

Excellent! (is there a Snipe in there somewhere?)

Yeah...background lighting is an absolute NoNo!

Guess he knew his number was up..So he went down Fighting!..and boy..what a fight it was too

Work is already underway on the 'Grid'....the replacement for the web

Thanks to Hauksbee, the poster version off the Pfaltz is now available http://www.cafepress.com/BURNING_BRYGHT/6722434

Well done you two! I love the damage pics on the Alb...bit more like P1 was...And any damage is good damage...don't see enough in P3 (IMO) Keep up the good work

Hmm..There was heavy cloud cover that day though...Could he not have tried for that?

Are you not going to upload all these skins to the Download section Sandbagger?

Great read Gremlin..thanks for posting. Yes John..He certainly was reckless (but at 20 yrs old he can be forgiven i suppose)...In fact, he had more than one oportunity to escape from his final dogfight, but was obviously caught up in the moment. Stunning Pilot though

what if you turn effects to '1' in the config?...would that lose the smoke?

Aha! The other German Pilot was apparently Karl Menckhoff...and although he was shot down in the fight, he survived

I am sure you have all seen the episode of 'Dogfight' featuring Werner Voss's heroic last stand against a multitude of SE5a's, fronted by Rhys Davis and James McCudden? I just watched it again, and think, had he survived, he would have exceeded MVR's record possibly. He was certainly an excellent Pilot, and superior marksman (MVR is thought by many to have also been an exemplary marksman, but only an average Pilot) I wonder who the Red Nosed Albatross pilot was, who stumbled across the Dogfight, but who was also shot down in the engagement. McCudden was obviously full of respect for Voss, saying that Voss was "The most skillful German pilot it had ever been his honour to fly against" Some guy!!

That's right..I remember!..he got a big fir needle through his side too!..ouch

I have nothing but respect for those who gave. I hope Monday goes well in the USA

I agree totally...But why have you put this in here???

What a cool drawing.

yeah... More sensationalist headlining!! Put's me in mind of that Rear Gunner in the Lanc who fell thousands of feet and survived..they were going to shoot him as a spy. And the Air Hostess who fell out of an aircraft that broke up in Mid Air...... all three have one thing in Common. They all landed in snow

I have taken the Plunge, and am learning the Guitar. My Brother is a very accomplished Guitar Player and Drummer...I sadly am not!!!...But am slowly getting to grips with it. (when work and OFFing allows) One of my favourite soundtracks is from Pirates of the Caribbean...And this guy plays it very well
