Kaiser's answer to the Brisfit. (DH Mosquito 0.5?)I've always loved the Walfisch. Flying against it in sims is a bitch.
Kaiser's answer to the Brisfit.
You copied that straight off the Bristol F2B information blurb, didn't you?Obvs can't speak about real life, but in the sims it's fast, fairly maneuverable, and the fixed forward gun does make head-ons dicier. It's one of those planes you really want to stalk and plan for rather than just jumping into a scrap. High-ahead or lowside-aft attacks were the best bet -- but make sure your gunnery is good, you don't want a second pass or hairball if you can avoid it. The gunner could make that a headache.
A really nifty airplane, especially for the time.
Looks like there's a youtube video on this exact aircraft....Love this thread.
Those ol' planes were such works of art.

Maybe those here who are more informed than I can tell me the significance of the numbers after the "Fok. DVII" that appears on the side of the fuselage?

You'll have to forgive me but it looks like the prototype Sopwith Pup built in Australia.
He was of course primarily a helicopter pilot but he did fly a number of fixed wing aircraft from Chipmunks to Bae 146 of the royal flightCharles was a helicopter pilot, his father logged 6,000 hours in various types.
and he pranged the BA 146 when he ook it off the runwayHe was of course primarily a helicopter pilot but he did fly a number of fixed wing aircraft from Chipmunks to Bae 146 of the royal flight
"Snail" may well be one of the worst names deliberately attached to an aircraft.Very nice photos John.
This one however - is not the Bulldog.
It's the Sopwith Snail...
