Thanks to those who actually answered my Qs. Appreciated. I was of course talking in relation to AH and not historically as I doubt any of you flew combat missions in WWII (Tony's question). I was indeed referring to the DH Hornet in the title to this thread - it didn't see action or even Ops in the war - it was a post war aircraft, first delivered to 64 squadron at Horsham in March 1946, replacing, interestingly enough, Mustangs. Although, for the pedants, the RAF did have them from 1945 - an original batch of 60 having been ordered.(credit - David Monday, British Aircraft of WWII, Pilot Press 1982) I didn't mean the American F18 Hornet of modern times.
It was interesting to hear some views, though the thread was hijacked with the usual warblings. Nope, I'm purely interested in hearing pesonal views in the form of answers to my questions, if you want to talk about 617 and the Tirpitz, please do, only why not start your own thread?
Thanks again to those who answered. Please continue!:aok
