Best Bomber of WW2 (continued)

[the lancaster kicks ass]

but not unstoppable for our fighters.........

 

[cheddar cheese]

Well no, but a lot harder to waste than He-111's or Do-17's.

 

[mosquitoman]

Yep
Another dive-bomber the RAF used in the far east was the Vultee Vengeance, it did quite well but I think they got replaced with Thunderbolts

 

[cheddar cheese]

I thought of the Vengence but I wasnt really sure if it was a dive bomber or not.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yes she was, rather good looking too.........

 

[cheddar cheese]

I wouldnt call it good-looking...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i would.............

 

[mosquitoman]

Make up your own mind...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

now that's beautiful...........

 

[BombTaxi]

The Vengance was a good looking piece of kit. For sheer meanness, I reckon the Barracuda was the nastiest-looking of British aircraft

 

[mosquitoman]

The Beau looks meaner

 

[cheddar cheese]

No no, if I saw a Lancaster with sharks mouths on the nacelles, that would be scary

I agree that the Barracuda looks mean though 8)

 

[Nonskimmer]

I like the looks of the Barracuda. The Vengence ain't the worst looking I've seen, but it's no Barracuda!

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yeah the Baracuda looks good 8)

The Fairey Firefly was nice too 8)

 

[FLYBOYJ]

NOW THIS IS SCARY!

 

[cheddar cheese]

Is that a Skyraider? I cant quite tell from that angle. If it is then hell yeah, I agree! 8)

 

[Nonskimmer]

A Vietnam scene?

 

[FLYBOYJ]

YEP - THAT'S CALLED "SMOKIN CHARLIE"

 

[Nonskimmer]

Mmmm, crispy.

 

[FLYBOYJ]

Or well done.
