As these Pics didn't come out, I'll post them again:

A 12,000lb "Tallboy" Bomb.

And a Lanc dropping a 22,000lb "Grand Slam" Bomb.

HOLY **** THOSE BOMBS ARE BIG!!!!!!!!! but plz lets get back to the original topic of shitty planes

I've seperated these topics to keep this one on the subject of aircraft. The IL-2 topic is now in the CS forum

ok sry for posting that here in the first place its just i thought there would be more replies here (logically)

Crazy · 02-02-2004, 07:37 PM

rgrt, it's ok.

I'm just trying to keep things organized. It's more likely that people with FB would find it in the CS forum, though. Not everyone that comes here for my forums reads these topics

OK guys. Worst aircraft Horsa Glider.
More a flying brick than a plane.
Normal landing procedure.
1. link arms to avoid all ending up in the cockpit.
2. lift feet to avoid removal when the floor is ripped out
3. always carry trenching tools to bury the pilot who exit the aircraft via the front windscreen.

no way, the horsa wasn't that bad

Oh yes it was Kicks.
My old man was a matlot in L.C.A,s and on D-Day he saw at least 10 in his sector alone (Arromanche) loose the C47 tugs due to ack ack and the poor sods came down right into enemy lines like sacks of sxxx cos the was no where to land and the 88's peppered them with air burst's.
Once you are cut loose there's only one way you are going to head and that ain't up!
One other thing, (Cheddar) it was normal procedure to link arms and lift feet as the Germans liked to erect little obsticals like danet wire between post's or low walls just for the benifit of glider borne troops.
ps if you dont think that thats the worst howbout the AVRO ROTA
