Ju88 vs De Havilland Mosquito

[the lancaster kicks ass]

where?

and i'm afraid most Rocs finished their days as permanant airfield defences, baisically they only used them for their turret..................

 

[cheddar cheese]

shame

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

not for the pilots that would have flown them...............

 

[cheddar cheese]

they were dead, they didnt know what was going on

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i wonder if there're any Roc pilots left.................

 

[cheddar cheese]

nah i doubt it, if any did survive a sortie they probably topped themsleves straight after they landed so they wouldnt have to fly the beast again

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

if they'd have survived a sortie they'd been hailed a hero, given a DSO, DFC and a VC.................

 

[cheddar cheese]

yeah, then they would top emselves

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

why would you top yourself if you had been given a DSO, DFC and a VC??

 

[cheddar cheese]

so you wouldnt have to fly a roc again

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i don't think they would put you throught the pain of flying it again, getting back in a Roc makes you an ace, so they would give you somethng better, like a defaint.......................

 

[cheddar cheese]

getting back in a Roc makes you an ace

 

[plan_D]

I'm sure quite a lot of people in percentage terms made it back. I mean, as a Wing-Commander why would you throw Rocs into a situation which is impossible to win.
That situation for the Roc being any situation with an enemy aircraft.

I don't think the Roc was used that often. In fact I haven't seen anything about the Roc entering combat. I know that the Skua saw some.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

more than some, it served for quite a bit of the war...................

 

[cheddar cheese]

And I thought the RAF were clever...
