Rgr that.....but I reckon her siting in the hall was a poor one.

True, but it's a case of Tetris, I mean you've got several large bombers in there, so you've got to put them where you can.

Could be because all the flags are backwards, so don't think you are special.:know:

There is no "Frontwards" or "backwards" with a flag. When a flag is drawn it is customary to put the field on the left. That said, it's common practice when painted on vehicles of any type that the flag is shown with the field toward the front, as if it were seen streaming to the rear. On the other side of the plane I'm sure the flags are "frontwards".

So no ":down:" at all.

Fap-fappity-fap-fap!

Surprised it's not marked up as a more famous one, either John Spencer's or Dave Hamilton's.

Ordered Empire of the Clouds off Ebay last night for less than two quid. :rock:

Jimbuna 11-04-12 08:35 AM

Tis available as a free downloadable E-book but for £2 I'd rather have the book :yep:

Oberon 11-04-12 08:35 AM

Mmmm, hello sexy. :yep:

What a bird the Lightning, you really can't deny it, she had the moves alright.

Empire of the Clouds? This looks a good book *puts on 'to read' list*

Anyone ever read 'Thunder and Lightnings'?

Sorry about that but it turned out to be something of a different nature.

I shouldn't be so trusting :oops:
