Back home!
« on: August 21, 2000, 04:01:00 AM »
I understand that while I was sailing and fighting against the Greek Meltemi wind (up to force 7-9 Beaufort) someone here was fighting a tuffer war about the 190A5-SpitIX flight models ...    

Well, I'm happy to be back again ... warmin' my C.205V

... the standard of flying of the Italian pilots was very high indeed, and in encounters with Macchi 205s particularly we were up against aircraft that could turn and dog fight with our Spitfires extremely well.

"And one of the finest aircraft I ever flew was the Macchi C.205. Oh, beautiful. And here you had the perfect combination of italian styling and german engineering .... it really was a delight to fly ... and we did tests on it and were most impressed." - Captain Eric Brown

Kids today! Why can't they fetishize Fascist military hardware like normal people?

Ladysmith wants you forthwith to come to her relief
Burn your briefs you leave for France tonight
Carefully cut the straps of the booby-traps and set the captives free
But don't shoot 'til you see her big blue eyes
