All I can think is WOW. Love the Dora. May be the rarity that makes it jump out at me. I don't use them in the game.
And you seem to have the same problem identifying ground vehicles that I do. Think they may be out of order.

Wasn't the pilot version used for development and testing?

I was going to say "Love the Dora" but I love so many of them its hard to find one to love the most. The Dora is a real gorgeous restoration tho.

Thanks, folks.

For the manned V-1 the pilot was supposedly to bail out once it was aimed at the target.  :uhoh  It was never used in the war.

Bail out and be digested by the pulse jet?!? Best to cut the jet first, I'm sure.

Sweet pics by the way, thanks for sharing.
