Nice to know that you all think that Britten would have fallen if Hitler would have stayed the coarse. So why not try to talk more on this? I will look into it if we want. But Lanc is write, the BEF was just handed there ass and they were not ready to go back into action. But Hitler would have had to ready the invasion before and they were to my reading not ready. Also look at the Eastern Front, and what He was determined to do.

Actually I think that during the BoB the Germans were building up an attack fleet in France, ready for when they won the BoB, Ive seen pictures taken by British spy planes. However they didnt win it, did they. I dont know what they done with everything afterwards though.

Yeah, on closer inspection of the Horsa it isnt that bad really. And I wouldnt say "beautiful", the words "German/Lufwaffe/Nazi" and "beautiful" do not go together, I would say the 177 looked cool 8)

it's hard to tell, from what i've found it had one "weapons bay" with a central partition, but there was also provision for a forwards bomb bay but it was very rarely used and often blanked off, there was also provision for underwing hard points..................
