[evangilder]

Here's a funky one for you. Not too hard...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

not an F5F is it??

 

[evangilder]

As a matter of fact, it is. Good job, Lanc! It's a Grumman F5F Skyrocket. Ugly little spud, isn't it?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

wow go me!!!

up yours CC!!!

and yes it's ugly as sin.........

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I think captured SE-200....

You may be right, but in that case the Se-200 looks just like a L.631. Every picture I have seen makes it look like a 631. Infact I have seen that picture labled as a L.631, and I have it in one of my books:

Das Grosse Flugzeugtypenbuch by Wilifred Kopenhagen

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

my words that's a frightfully big word........

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Come on Lanc you can say it FLU-Zeug-ty-pen

 

[cheddar cheese]

To be honest ive seen much bigger German words than that

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yes there are some crazy ones out there that are just stupid long.

 

[cheddar cheese]

And in lancs case I doubt he was referring to flugzeugtypenbuch, I think he meant 'Das'

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]
