Hardest plane to take down in WW2?

[helmitsmit]

What about the Hawker Hurricane that could take a lot of damage.

The structure of the Hurricane certainly could take a lot of damage, but not it's engine. And the structure of the Hurricane, while strong, was not near the strength of the P-47 and F4U.

Yeah I know just thought I would mention it. Thinking about it the Hawker family was all pretty rugged.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

pretty strong for 1935 though...........

 

[FLYBOYJ]

Very Strong!

From IL-2 center, they have a lot more neat stuff there as well!

the fabric was very easy to replace also, all you needed was a roll of Irish Linen and some dope.......

 

[FLYBOYJ]

Damage over a certain size had to be sewn or patched (I would guess 6") but small holes are easily repaired.

You also need some acetone!

The C 202/205 was probably the sturdier of the italians.

Yea, like leaving a Pristine Live Blockbuster as a gate guardian!

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yup, in perfect, original condition, a real collector's piece, would've been worth quite a bit........

And it would of been a real blast at an auction!!!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

would've caused a real hole in their pockets though

 

[FLYBOYJ]

yep, talk about a budget exploding!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i bet it would set the room on fire

 

[FLYBOYJ]

I don't think it will bomb....

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it could just go up in smoke.........

 

[FLYBOYJ]

Or maybe even dud!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]
