Italy v. England - Air to air

[cheddar cheese]

He uses that stuff with the needle applicator, that way he can just inject it straight into the blood

lanc, by the Saggitario he means the Re-2005. The Re-2005 could easily deal with a Spit of the same era, as could a Veltro or a Centauro 8)

Here's what would happen if a Spitfire and Macchi met each other ! 8)

No no, fixed it.

So I see. However the smoke was an experimental gas being used by the Italians that would cause following pilots to pass out and crash. It is actually the Spitfire crashing, not the MC.202, which is banking off to rejoin is formation 8)

I see, very effective indeed !

 

[cheddar cheese]

YEs. However one of the factory workers where tha gas was produced farted, and unknown to the Italians at the time this created a vast chemical reaction resulting in a huge explosion. The idea was never pursued 8)

 

[evangilder]

That poses an additional hazard for the pilot, or is it a methane auot-destruct?

 

[cheddar cheese]

No, the pilot was safe from the eminatine of methan gases whilst flying, the tank the gas was contained in was quite small and a long way away. However due the the Italians forgetting to build their machines in factories properly there was a lot of gas leakage, and that was what killed it

[cheddar cheese]

He did forget the Re-2005 though:

Heres a pic of the Re-2000, getting ready to be launched via catapult off a ship.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

looks no different to the others............

 

[cheddar cheese]

If you were to look at the profiles you would see a noticable different between the Re-2005 and the other 2, which do look similar.

Well, perfection has but one manifestation.
