Bristol Beaufighter
« on: April 14, 2015, 02:46:59 PM »
Have to admit, it WOULD look good in the game.   Almost 6,000 aircraft built, and they served in most theaters of the War.  Not an elegant or attractive plane like the Mosquito, but her lines do grow on you.  She's a workhorse, not a racehorse.

Screw you Arlo, oboe... :furious

While Arlo's was easier to spot as fake (no offense), oboe's was more difficult.

THEY BOTH GOT MY HOPES UP! :bhead
