Title: I'm not a betting man but I wager you haven't seen this one!
Post by: killb8 on December 23, 2011, 05:46:01 PM
To me this is hilarious. I believe the navigator is in the middle of muttering "wtf?" . Is the nose gunner some sort of asthmatic. Does the co-pilot have tombstones in his eyes? Whats the hole in the wings leading edge in the left side? I dont think its battle damage. Anyhoo enjoy (http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz259/killb8/Thank%20you%20flifast/news_07032008_1.jpg)

I seen it a few times, what are the details about it? I knew when Italy surrendered it was given some spitfire's, I assume its a
macchi 200 buzzing an airfield with a British insignia Spitfire on the ground. Any ideas?  :(

I believe that low pass pic was right before he hit a person. Killed them dead with the wing.

It's hard NOT to kill someone dead...

Just like I've never seen free cookies for sale.

:lol Thats right and he didn't notice a thing, was all like "Say what!" They probably led him by the ear into debriefing.

Whats the hole in the wings leading edge in the left side? I dont think its battle damage. Anyhoo enjoy (http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz259/killb8/Thank%20you%20flifast/news_07032008_1.jpg)

it's a ram air source of some kind, forget where the flight engineer's position was.  The third guy standing between the Commander and co-Pilot might just be the crew chief

I'll assume it was tobacco, back then cigarettes weren't sold with filters which meant you could smoke them until they burnt your fingers, like a joint.
