Did someone call me? :D You can see the twin-25pdr in my avatar. I believe the experimental 25pdr and 17pdr models were both successful, and...
I hope this movie won't be another "Phantom Menace".
That's one of the reasons I love this forum. :)
Interesting ... sort of a half-jet. Just missing the idea of exhaust powered turbines to make the compression self-sustaining. I don't recall...
Which is pretty close to what I meant. If it has seen operation in combat, it's operational. From the Oxford Dictionary: From Mirriam-Webster:...

I would add a salute to the memory of those Australian soldiers who were captured and mistreated by the enemy, particularly the garrison of...
I can't believe I missed the Ju 88! *facepalm* Great photo links!
