ok i gotta admit what he's doing is going overboard but when i hear him on Mic in game he's older than me... and hes a scot. maybe he's drunk AGAIN... he's always drinking guys.

Not allway's i never drink the night before work or the night before i have 2 drive in the morning. And i am an airframe's engineer i used to be an airframe's technition but when the Royal Airforce ( Reserve's )was up dated in 2001 the job title changed as in my line we where not replacing airframe skin's ( metal ) that where already formed and sent from the manufacturer we where making them our self's from scratch. Now my second field as when i signed up for the Royal Air Force ( reserve's ) The 2 Trades of Airframe's Technition and Mechanical Technition where now simply put they are now 1. So in A way i am now called an airframe engineer by law but by law i am aslo a mechanical technition. ( It's Wierd but thats the Labour Goverment they cost cut and all that   ). So i say call me what you will.  

OK OK OK OK IM Scottish and it was over my long weekend had some beer an whiskey may no have read some post's properly an may have misspelledan qoated but hey i was drunk for a few day's im ashamed of myself   but hey we all been there and done it ooopppsss

I'm not sure about JATO for the F4U. But some were outfitted with ice cream makers.


Late in the war one squadron in the Palaus found the action slow, and to stave off boredom the ground crews rigged 5 gallon cans with a wind-driven spinner connected to a mixing rotor, and hooked up one under each wing of an F4U. A pilot would take the aircraft up to high altitude for a given period of time and then come back to base with the ice cream.

May be true maybe not, I wasn't there, but it is a nice story. Probably true though.

True story along with the ice cream ships.

Anyway, the Ohka was used and did sink ships. Or is Wiki just crap?

No, Wiki is correct in this case.  The Ohka (Baka bomb) was used and did sink US ships, the Baika on the other hand never saw the light of day.

ack-ack

Baka & Baika. There it was

And here I was getting uppity, thinking to be one, you had to know how to correctly spell "Technician".

What? There's no T in it?  Blasphemy! 

To think someone that can't spell his job title correctly may work on Tornado, Eurofighter or F-35 in any capacity is simply mind-numbing. But then again, we all know the truth ....

I've heard of it.  I have friends that are severely dyslexic.  In fact, one of my friends was medically discharged from naval service for it.  Amazing coincidence, don't you think? 

My post was not meant to demean your condition.  I had no knowledge of it, so if you wish to be mad, so be it.  Your previous posts, well, they are quite enlightening, and completely without any factual basis whatsoever.

But, I am amazed at your ability to work on multi-million dollar aircraft with the obvious impairment you suffer from.   One question....did you get statemented prior to enlisting or after?

Two years after enlisting. Had serious head injury's from a car crash whilst moving from RAF Leuchars to RAF Lossimouth. then after some time it was noticed. And i went for some serious retraining to let me do my job whilst having dislexia. But one main problem remains i still cant put from mind to papper very well. Even this post has taken me around 5 - 10 minutes to write  

But hey i never let it stop me  

Oh and im set to be medically dischared in 1 year or sooner. As i have another problem i tend to swear when im angered. And swearing at an officer is not on so im told. altho some deserve it but an N.C.O dont do it cos they say it bad example for the lower rank's.
