I support the addition of the Beau.  I'd probably prefer flying top cover for it in a Mossie VI to actually flying it though.

Here's how I see it Hajo, for the first BOSS get together.  And I'd like to think it's proof that I've come to see the light now that I've put the joystick away for awhile.

We get everyone loaded up and out on the runway for take off.


After we get up, it's low alt NOE all the way.


I'm sure we'll have to deal with flak while we hunt shipping, but so be it.


Cause we'll gang em with our horde of Beaus!


And then if we're lucky we can fly back and crash land in true BOSS fashion :)


All photos of Beaus in action from the Dalachy Strike Wing btw.

Not another LW Hanger queen. :rolleyes: I'll park her up next to the B-25. But I'm sure the 11 people flying in EW will have a blast. :aok

kaz there are plenty of guys flying around in b25's defending bases against gv's and cv attacks when ords are porked,  The beau will give the british and aussies a torpedo carrier and something that flies and shoots similiar to a mossie.  I for one would like to see how the turning performance will compare with the mossie.

you get out of the wrong side of bed this am?
