Made in Germany I bet, and no fees payed.

Of course made in Germany ... that's the whole point of license production. I believe Messerschmitt actually payed license-fees to Handley-Page until Britain declared war on Germany.

Actually, I recall hearing somewhere that Messerschmitt payed the fees all the way through the war. However, I dont remember just where I saw that, so dont hold me to it. Ill go look through my books right now though, lol.

And paid the licenses after war was declared, too. Just like British and US companies were paying royalties for German patents and licenses during the war. Even for the military production.

War? Pfft. Business is business and license/patent payments are done. The money just waits in the bank until the war ends, so the transfer can then be done normally.

All the western countries paid full license fees/patent fees/royalties to the "enemy" country for every single thing manufactured during wartime.

You overestimate the effect of war to business sector

Hehe, a sidenote to this.
There was a spy, working for the Germans. He was brought to Iceland in a U-Boat.
He was supposed to be paid into a Copenhagen bank account, and he did check it out after the war, but had never received a penny.
Anyway, he had got back to them before, because he became a double agent and worked the whole war for the British.

The Slats were an invention of the handley Page company Fact.

"STOL"

Reminiscent of the Fieseler Storch, which had huge leading edge slats. There are some interesting shots of a model Storch here. Wouldn't it be great if the company that's making those replica 262s could churn out some Storches. Looks like there was an original for sale recently here. 185,000 Euros, which is £125,000, and going by the current pound/dollar exchange rate that would be ninety million US dollars.

There's a shot of a Fairey Swordfish, with its slats, here, although they are retracted. You can barely see the faces of the passengers, but they don't look comfortable. Did they have some kind of bulletproof tub around them? If not, burly.

Also, the 110s in the game have slats.

CH 701 and its "copies" have fixed slats (very clearly seen from the picture of the Savannah you posted).

Not anymore, Wmaker, at least on not all the model: Savannah ADV has electrical operated slats
