CC the only reason you wouldn't get shot down in a Fairey Battle is that everyone in a 5 mile radius would be laughing at the uselessness of the pile of junk you were sitting in

And then, he'd move in for the kill!

Yep, due to the amazing speed and agility of the Battle I could out climb, dive, turn and roll the Fw-190, take him out with a couple of shots from my starboard .303, then attack the bombers. If I missed them and overshot by some strange reason then my rear gunner would take them out with his .303...yes the Battle was an amazing plane

What kinda radar suite did the Lincoln have? All Ive seen mentioned was the H2S but was wondering if theyre was more.
Id still take a B-29 for night bombing over the Lancaster or Lincoln if all 3 were available.

Thanks mosquitoman, it's a real shame that there's no Hornets left today, and they would've been awesome had they got them into WWII before it was over....
We have a chap that's making new Mosquitos down here in NZ, I don't know if you've heard about it....There is an update on it at www.mossie.org , the main Mosquito website....
My choice of aircraft is based on my obsession with the Mosquito Hornet, [as all these guys know about !!!], and then my patriotic choices, but there's others like the Lancaster etc. that I'd love to add too.....

The A-4 was an awesome little jet, no doubt about it.

Agreed, LG. I always liked the look of the A-4.
