Lol. Good work BG

Wow! Great stuff. Thanks BG.

MSFS X get a big thumbs down from some esteemed collegues of yours. L to R Beebop, Dubbo, Bear & Jensenpark.

?? Time to check the expiry dates on your meds Carl. :wink:

I think it's a good idea. We (HH) looked at it a while ago but never finalised anything. Squad skins that still look WW2ish are particularly good. (Pinks etc are a bit much) Nice looking skins

Ha

So how did the Wimpy make out then?

Did ZC ever answer your question mate?

That's a nice fan

Look at the detail on that balloon :shock: Cables what? And some more trucks.

Ain't Grommit great?

Yeah. Talk about testing to destruction...............kinda

Pink trim though? Right?

SS GB by Len Dieghton Whilst not a war book per say, it is set in England in 1941 and involves an Inspector from Scotland Yard investigating a murder. The thing is, this is an England under Nazi occupation, a defeated England making do under the boot of Nazi conquest. The crime story begins as any other might, but quickly becomes the focus of Resistance activities, plots, and the machinations of those within the German military and government, and foreign powers. Scotland Yard Detective Superintendent Douglas Archer finds what was a simple murder turning into a juggling act between himself and numerous powerful groups. What really sets this book apart is Deighton's sweating the details of a Britain conquered. We are used to England as a special case of World War II in Europe, the country untainted by Nazi occupation, a somehow nobler land of heroic resistance. Deighton sets this on its head, makes England a Vichy regime, and raises the issues of occupation and collaboration in an unexpected place. The world of SS-GB is a mere twist away from what might have been. The transplant of the troops of occupied France to England is a fascinating exercise in playing with our entrenched picture of Britain At War, and allows a (perhaps small) reevaluation of the collaborationist governments of 1940's Europe. A fantastic "What-if" and it would be a great companion piece to Fatherland by Robert Harris. (Another what-if involving a SIPO officer investigating a murder in 1964 in Berlin in a world where Germany won the war)

This from a guy who drives a purple series 1 Golf/Rabbit convertible? .....well at least it's German

Good Stuff Pooka :thumbright:

Nice Kelly. Good work mate :thumbright: Cool name too

I listed actors. You named a .... a .....celebrity. :roll: Laurence Olivier would be rolling in his grave. Good one though. Actually, most of the cast from "Downfall" could play various crew on the Bismark. A lot of them were very good.

No. I want to build a huge landing field lines with park benches and lamp posts

LOL. Ah Top Gear and the Hamster. That was a good episode. Before the 2-CV, they sent a Ford Mondeo (Contour in Nth America)across. It faired a little better, but not much. That's a lot of thrust. :iroc:

More. Neat. I wonder if the lamp standards and park benches are placeable objects?

Yeah I think they did. The footage of the wreck was incredible - the big swastika was still visible on the foredeck. Additionally the computer graphics they did for the battles she took part in (including shell-cam) as well as the actual sinking was brilliant to see. (The same programmers they used for the Titanic computer graphics of the sinking). But the stories the different sailors told were horrifying and moving. This story needs to be made into a full length 3 hour motion picture while there are still records and eye-witness accounts to be had. Jurgen Pronchow could play Admiral Gunther Lutjens and Ralph Fiennes could play KptzS Ernst Lindemann. Liam Neeson, Jason Statham, Dexter Fletcher, Stephen Graham, Martin Freeman, Vinnie Jones, Simon Pegg and so-on could play sailors and officers of the the RN, RNVR and RNR. Gordon Ramsey could play an angry cook on board the Rodney or the King George and hell, we could even give Dennis Waterman a role and maybe he could write and sing the theme song. :wink:

Heh heh........I'd be in that line too
