[Erich]

All the best for Christmas guys !

here's a shot of Waddington under snow, it's not that festive and the planes have been "de-iced" but worth posting..............

Heres my contribution to the "Festive war spirit"

Anyone with winter scences involving Russian a/c?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

dude that's not festive at all, perhaps if it had a santa hat, or antlers and a red nose, that would be funny....................

 

[cheddar cheese]

Its got snow in it, therefore is festive

 

[Erich]

well it's snowing around our little Berg of 23,000 right now. I luv it ! funny the shots of the RAF a/c in the snow remind me of the 60 anniversary of Bodenplatte where the Luftwaffe gave one of it's last ditch efforts on attacking Allied airfields over Europe on 1-1-45. what a mess for both sides......

Ju 88G-1 with NJG 4 crewmen by the tail ....... "Hans take the pic quick !"
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr ...............

 

[Nonskimmer]

Aww, but they look so close!

Nice pic, Erich.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

does the one on the left look like a poofta to anyone else??

 

[Erich]

heres a neat pic, signed by a well known Bf 110G ace and RK winner Gunther Bahr upon his receiving of the award, to his right is my good friend and DK winner Peter Spoden-pilot of a Ju 88G-6..........

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

not very festive??

 

[lesofprimus]

But a great pic none the less....

 

[Erich]

even in the spring of 45 the NJG 6 boys could get festive. this was a time to celebrate with too many njg vets being killed. Propaganda useage of course as noted in the pic but even the troops lined up in the background needed a boost during the time of loosing a war.....

i forget if i ever voted in this , but no He-219 option , how could you

 

[Erich]

it's record is pretty bleak compared to the Bf 110G-4 and Ju 88 variants

 

[Yeomanz]

well i'd woun'd call it a night fighter , more of a night'blastabomberrightouttheskyer' it had 6 30mm 8)

 

[Erich]

try your referecnes again friend. some times two 3cm mostly all 2cm. with 6 cannon it was too much and I./NJG 1 reduced the cannon to four 2cm weapaons as it was plenty to bring down any bomber........

 

[Yeomanz]

what the hell im 14 and barely know a thing , thats what it said my book ..........

 

[Erich]

it's best to site your reference first so we all can double check it.

Happy new year in 45 minutes I believe in your part of the world ?
