How did this turn into a discussion on the 152?

Let's put this back on tracks.


Any history on this skin?

Too bad, Boofers, the 410 it is.

That said, we need more twins in general. I hope we gets the boof soon - and convoys to kill with it.

If we could get convoys to lead us to the HIDDEN CVs,
It would give us SpeCtacUlar reasons to lead Beau missions.  :rock

It's there. You're seeing the noise on the photo and it's making the rudder blend in with the background. Follow the curve up and around and you can see the outer edge of the rudder. Note the very far right edge of the picture at the elevator level: That's the trim tab on the rudder.

Post war & a target towing aircraft.

Most DAP 21's were all dark green that flew combat. A few exceptions though & very rare all white aircraft & bare metal.

well spotted! its like an optical illusion for me, when I flick up the page to check it out I can see the rudder and even the shadows created by its ribs for about 0.2s, then it looks like its missing again. cool :D
