[MichaelHenley]

Sorry- Should have added What Plan D said...


Because when you shoot down 10+ planes, you want to celebrate !

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

ah yes, just make sure you land first.................

 

[MichaelHenley]

Of course! Can't forget to land can we now!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well what i mean is don't celebrate by drinking whilst you're still flying, it tends to make landing difficult................

 

[MichaelHenley]

now this begs the question, how many bottles of beer can you fit in the cockpit, i know that beer was sometimes carried to the front in barrels attached where the bomb normally goes, but i mean with you in the cockpit........................

 

[MichaelHenley]

Yeah- we'd only drop empty kegs on the enemy!!!

I've heard that the nose of a P-38 could carry four cases worth of scotch if ammo wasn't carried.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

anything the P-38 could carry can be bettered by the mossie................

 

[Lightning Guy]

So find me an instance of the Mossie being used to smuggle booze.

Gallands Me-109 could carry Lobsters.... And after getting shot down, it also set those poor little crustaceans free...
