Smile Hi everyone

Hi everyone,

profile:
39 yrs old (OMG that old already )
married, two kids, living in central europe

what brought me in:
since beeing a kid I loved the big english bombers. loved to make them with LEGO, had countless Matchbox plastic kits...you know Stirlings, Wellingtons, Hampdens, Halifax, Whitley, Lanc's. So, grew older and started with books on the subject (as reader), well to be onest my wife complains about the space they're using......so the collection is rather huge.... and with flight-sims.

my dream:
to be able to simulate (on pc) what it was like during night over Berlin, Hamburg, etc. so in other words a full scale 'Bomber Command Simulation' ...might never happen I know

what can I offer:
help concerning RAF Bomber Command & its aircraft from 1939-45/46 ..don't forget the Lincoln

cheers
gterl

Hi and Welcome from Essex, hope you enjoy your stay.
Have a look in the models threads, there's quite a few pics of those bombers in there.
