yeh, It`s my favorite Movie! More I watch it, more I like it. We never (!) get a chance they make a WWII airwar movie like they done there in the 60ies.

Yes, a great film. My son who is now 3 years old, is flying with Cliffs of Dover. Today, we found a train near Manston on the Single Missions option! Amazing detail. And it was destroyed in an attack. Best Regards, MB_Avro |

A small salute to the 'ground objects'.
Some British houses have bricked-up windows.(See screenshot). These originated in the 1600's when Parliament imposed a window tax. It dated from 1696 to 1851! http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/a...psiwfn5wgb.jpg http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/a...psujcc1qes.jpg http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/a...pszvtwbdpm.jpg http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/a...pszkj643qc.jpg http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/a...psva3f62nm.jpg Dornier Marie Celeste! http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/a...pselwrero0.jpg Best Regards, MB_Avro. |

Anson is as Anson does.. (An old RAF joke!).
From the 16th Century proverb:- 'Handsome is as handsome does'. A person's good actions, rather than his outward appeal, define his handsomeness in the eyes of others. In other words, the Anson was not handsome, but had good actions. http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/a...psxj5kaoaq.jpg Best Regards, MB_Avro |
