Title: Your front cover against my complete manual :)
Post by: snafu on March 11, 2002, 01:46:22 PM

I have the whole manual :D

Follow the "Pilots Notes" link on my webpage below Loads of other AH planes as well all in pdf format (Spit, Lanc, Typhoon, Hurricane Mosquito etc) Most are a few mb each so give em time to load.

Haven't had chance to verify al the links so if any don't work just let me know & I'll fix em. :)

Yup, got it also.


In fact the number of times I've posted the address of the firm that re-prints the manuals on this BBS for Pyro is.....um......bout 3.

If I do ever make it to a con I'm gonna wave the manual under his nose until he agrees to put a DT on the seafire.

Where do you guys get your hands on these manuals?
are they floating around on the 'net? or would I have to order them from somewhere?  I'd like to get my hands on a F6F or P51 manual. :D

Nah, there's a company in Manchester, GB, that reprints the manuals.  They only cover aircraft flown in RAF service so you may have a hard time finding a manual for the F6F, I think it only flew in Fleet Air Arm service.

Soon as I get home I'll post the address / fax number for ya........unless anyone else has a manual to hand, the address is on the back cover.

and when the pilot saw he was out numbered, he'd say "screw what the manual says!!! i'm going to out manuver these bastards"

from observation of Spit Vs in the MA I would imagine the manual is pretty short:

1> attempt to commit seppuku by yanking stick as hard back into your belly as possiible

2> spray and pray

3> don't worry about the .303 browninig unless you want to tickle people
