John Heaton Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Where G - George started from --- Scampton - Lincoln - May 1943 - (old Orbx UK 1.6) and - the Target was difficult to find in the daylight - must have been much harder in the dark. Even Orbx LC Europe - couldn't help the poor POI from PR3D basic of the Dam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark Gable in Gone with Wind said" Frankly my Dear i could not give a damme " John Heaton said "Apres moi le deluge" which means the same thing, I guess John was frustrated with the Bomber, for not finding his target at Night .

JOE DYGAN Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Hey! This is a French tribute, right ? I have to react, then... Yes, we are Latin people, yes the bird is a beauty (and stamped in French colors!) and yes they are great shots ! PS: this is the French Clément ADER who has take off for the first time in a motorised bird... (That's what I know... I wasn't there to confirm (1890 !)).. Hereafter his bird: Thanks for sharing !!! Cheers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
