    The picture you have posted is indeed a Wellington. Now compare it with the aircraft I posted. They were both built by Vickers, Both designed by Barnes Wallis, but they are different aircraft. There's more difference between these two than there is between a typhoon and a tempest!

    Animals

    I know. I recognised it straight away. Was just musing if the original intention was to give the troops fresh meat, but circumstances dictated otherwise, while over the other side of the studio, a fountain is waiting for a monument: P1 :Oh, no! times up, and I don't have a monument for the fountain (Only in Czech)! P2 : How do you think I feel? 18 months trying to get this thing to follow the correct migratory pattern, and the damned thing just sits there (This bit's in Czech too)! P1 : Bummer. P2 : Just a sec... (sounds of p2 lifting deer off his rig and dropping it onto the fountain. this bit isn't in Czech, sound effects being more or less universal. Except if you say, for example, imitate a chicken. An Englishman would say "COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO," while the rest of the planet would just look at him like he was a headcase, but I digress...) P2 : What do you think? P1 : Very rustic...

    FWIW, I don't think Stalker intended mischief. Even if he did, what's the big deal? most people here sof, sopp, soffy, er, clever enough to suss it out in very short order. As for that deer. It always seemed to me to be an odd choice for a monument. I'm wondering if BIS actually intended to put animals in the game but ran out of whatever it is prevents such a project being completed...

    LOL! It may have been easy before it became a "unique fixer upper opportunity," but I I'm going to take a real long shot and say the remains of a P47D

    Er... Did you park that? From what's left of the cowling, I think its one of the P40 variants; Kittyhawk, Warhawk or Tomahawk.

Okay, try this one: First bomber of any nation to raid Berlin, Bomb load 4000lbs, agile and fast enough to dogfight Me110's AND score a couple of kills (though not carrying bombs at the time), eventually withdrawn early due to some serious disadvantages, the biggie being that the fuselage was too cramped to move around in; it was impossibe to reach injured aircrew in different parts of the aircraft. Still saw service as a torpedo bomber though.

    Proper release of the littlebirds

    </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote (Tigershark @ Nov. 04 2002,10:30)</td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">@Wardog The decision was made to carry 4 people based on SOP. This was based on several "consultants" on our team that had served with Rangers. For the record...I was not pleased with the 2 seats in the back of the AH-6 as this was not realistic. ST and I decided to let the community decide on whether they should stay.<span id='postcolor'> The quality of the work is excellent, as we've come to expect from your team. My reservations are based on a matter of your decisions regarding how certain aspects of the model are implemented. At the end of the day, I can like it, or lump it Inversely, I believe the rear seats in the back of the AH6 add to the realism. My reasons stem from reading Michael Herr's "Despatches," and "Nam," by Tim Page. In there there are a couple of incidents described during the Tet offensive when the normal rules got kicked out the window, and Huey gunships were used at least as battle taxis. Desperate situations. Now, as a mission builder, those rear seats are unlikely to be used. but it's nice to know that they're there. I would say the same for the 5th and 6th seat of the MH6, if they existed. Now I know that some people that think SOP means Smoking Oriental Pot, but where I can, I try to stick to SOP unless I know better. You have your reasons for only putting in four places and I respect that. But using these aircraft to simulate an extreme situation which in real life that could be solved by one littlebird, two will be needed. Why not substitute with Drakkhen's Bird? Well, because your birds are a set, the flight models are perfectly matched, and getting them to fly in close formation isn't horrendously difficult. For this reason I'll keep using your models. The only real misgiving I have is with the seating arrangements. I can live with it. Keep up the good work.
