Hmmm,

Sunk by a Autogyro ....

Almost as bad as the british submariner who "sank" a train!

When did an Autogyro sink a sub? (did he crash into it??)
and when did a sub 'sink' a train...i'd be facinated if someone would tell me!!

nope! this was done by means of depth charges in a japanese autogyro!
i cant be bothered to find the tape i recorded the program on so name for you as of yet! i do, however, have the story! in the 1930's there was an american autogyro used for spotting for the army and fun by rich people.
the japanese bought six of these recognizing how they would be good in a spotting and observation role. (the purchase was made in the '30s) it was originally a two seater jobby and yes it did see use as a spotter but as i said i cant be bothered to look where. later in the war the japs saw how this would be good for ASW so they got a mechant ship and turned it into a mini carrier like the brits did for Sea Hurri's. and although the carrier was eventually sunk by a US sub, the type was used to hunt and successfully (at least once) kill US subs.

well thanks for that....i am now all so much clearer on the subject!

During the war in the Med, a british submarine commander saw an Italian corvette at anchor. He decided this was a good op for a spot of mayhem and fired a fish at the cove at anchor.

The fish missed, went under the corvette. The sea bottom in the area was shingle and the torp ran up the shingle where it smashed into the pylon of a viaduct as a munitions train was going over. The torpedo exploded (as you would) and destroyed the span of the bridge that the pylon was supporting bringing down the whole mess.

Apparently much amusement was caused by the submarine with a train stenciled on the conning tower.

wow. that IS interesting, never heard of that before! still...trust the Italians!!

 

[jj1982]

Italians....<cough Splutter> treacherous bastards!

 

[bronzewhaler82]

Italians....<cough Splutter> treacherous bastards!

No they weren't....they were just being controlled and influenced by that flaming Hitlers muppet musollini


Most Italians didn't want to go to war at all - they didn't have an interest it was just that piss ant Mussolini that wanted to get involved...i mean look what they did to him and his wife when the Italian people rebelled against him at the end of the war? Mussolini had planned his escape by fleeing to the Italian Alps with thousands of his 'loyal' followers and keep the allies at bay until Hitler could save his arse

But only a handful turned up and he was captured - and executed along with his wife (who tried to stop the executioners from shooting her husband so got shot herself for her troubles) their bodies were hung up for all to see and angry people spent weeks spitting, kicking, hitting and even shooting at the corpses until they were eventually cut down... Mussolini was not a popular person...nor apparently his wife either! 8)

 

[bronzewhaler82]

As a footnote although the Italians defected to the Allies towards the ends of both wars (WW1 and WW2)

I think it is widely beleived (yes, please correct me if i'm wrong) that the Italians though not trecharous exactly...can be a tad cowardly simply becuase they don't want to fight....hence the joke

Did the hear the one about Italian tanks?

They're built with 2 forward gears and 6 in reverse
