Sunderland Vs Catalina

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it's not so much the booze, i'm alright with that, it was the smoking.....

 

[Lightning Guy]

I didn't say I consider the guy a moral role model . . . but he was a very effective leader.

 

[plan_D]

Yes, I don't really give a damn that he smoked, he was a great leader, and something we needed at that time.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it's amazing that even today his speaches inspire people............

 

[Lightning Guy]

He was definitely needed. Especially following Chamberlain.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i doubt anyone else could have won the war the way he did...................

 

[Lightning Guy]

You are probably right there. He was the right man at the right time.

back on topic, the sunderland looked better than the cat..............

 

[Lightning Guy]

The Cat was smoother. The Sunderland was too portly.

 

[Andrew]

does any one have any figures as to how many U-Boats the sunderland sank?

I can get the figures but it will take some time.

Well that was a lot easier than I first thought.

The Totals are
Number of U Boats sunk by the Sunderland 27
Number of U Boats sunk by the Catalina 37

I thought i was going to have to troll through an entire website about U Boats, when they were sunk and by what to find the Info, but the Info I required was part of an Aicraft History Section within the main site, which covers all Aircraft used in the battle of the Atlantic.

 

[cheddar cheese]

the was better looking and it sunk more u-boats... i still prefer the sunderland though

 

[Lightning Guy]

So the Cat sank more U-boats and was more versatile. It looks like this is swinging heavily towards the Cat.

 

[plan_D]

I have to admit I do like the Cat.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

but the sunderland was a better fighter................

 

[cheddar cheese]

yup, im sticking by the sunderland 8)

 

[plan_D]

I don't care, I like the Cat.

 

[Lightning Guy]

I've been in favor of the Cat since I got here.

 

[plan_D]

And I'm in agreement

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the sunderland was sooooooo better.............
