| England calling... Salutations to you all. This looks like a very informative and interesting forum, lots of in depth knowledge being traded back and forth and I look forward to making a few friends here. As you may have guessed by my username I'm particularly interested in the Defence Of The Reich period, a time in Luftwaffe history I find enthralling. I'm a model maker so any information about colour schemes and tactical markings of particular units and individual aircraft would be invaluable. A little about me. I'm 46 (How time flies!) and work on the railways. I like real ale, single malt whisky and classic rock music. Which I think is a pretty good combination.  God bless all here. |

im now interesting in the period of the operation barbarossa, the great resistance by soviet people, besides their leader stalin wasnt aint so better than hitler. but the soviets made the diference its my opinion. also i like the period of the battle of the britain, the brith fought hard and to defend the islands, fought as lions ! im not a model maker but i apreciate the great job of the model makers i like brazilian ale -5°C, cachaça, and also some real classic rock !

| Welcome aboard mate. If you´re interested in Defensing the Reich, Erich could answer your questions, he´s the right person. I´m in touch with former pilot Willi Reschke from JG301,302 and in our museum we have an DB605AS engine from Hansotto Nehls (11./JG300) Bf109G-6. If you are interested I could send you a link... I was in touch with J.-Y. Lorant, who wrote the history book about JG300 but it´s hard to catch him as he´s very busy. Going to visit FL in Duxford next weekend, can´t wait to see those WW2 birds... Greeting from Czech Republic

Welcome Max P-way, OHL, S&T, TOCs or Box ? Im S&T tech support. There's some guys on here with a bucket full of knowledge on aircraft so if you want to know anything just ask and I would be surprised if its not answered within a few hours . I even found out the name of the guy who probably downed my uncle's Wellington. Not to shabby for 60 odd years after the event. Last edited by trackend; 06-30-2008 at 01:05 PM. Reason: spelling | |
