  1. I guess this is aimed at my mates that are local to me ... like Dubbo and Kelly (and you too Arther!) who may be up for another movie night. But if anyone out there really wants to see this movie I suppose that I can arrange something.

    By the cover art you can see that it features the Pe-2 so it is a little bit timely. And I figured that since we are all plane crazy someone else may like to see it.

    I have a copy of the movie: The Chronicles of a Dive Bomber. A Russian movie, made in 1967 and mentioned in this thread:

    http://forums.ubi.com/groupee/forums/a/ ... 1901089634

    It is in black and white, Russian language no subtitles.

    It is tough to recommend the movie but I am glad I saw it. Once!

  2. My collection is really disorganized. Welcome over anytime but you have to give me some warning.

    The Corsair video is also at Zeno's site. (streaming RM format) or you can buy it from him on DVD.

    Did you ever look at the txt file that was on that floppy I left with you?

  3. 'Tis very nice indeed.

    I posted it to alt.binaries.multimedia.aviation a few years ago.

    It is also included in Warbirds of WW2 Volume 2 produced by Dastar that I also have a posted recently to alt.binaries.multimedia.aviation last week in fact.

  4. Lexmark P3150 Printer/Copier/Scanner. I bought it for I think $80 Cdn. You can prolly get it for less these days. It is excellent!

    Even if it broke as a printer I would of course keep it a scanner.

    I used to use a parallell port flatbed till a few years ago and I remember being shocked at how fast the USB scanners were. ( I should't have been of course but I was shocked anyway! )

  5. Made you look! Perv!

    Imagine what that bear will do to that Reindeer!

    Actually I find this quite scary. My Wife and I have no kids... so I fear as I age I will turn into the sad old guy on the block who thinks that littering his yard will all these plywood creatures is cool! Or worse, the guy who makes wooden toys all day long. I already have the tools, I just pray that the urge does not grow within me.

  6. Good books in this thread.

    I have far too many to recommend... besides my current reading list (is hopelessly esoteric -- 1944 manuals and such) I think they wouldn't really interest you all that much. I think this stuff would really only be interesting to me. My wife cannot believe the stuff on my night table/office.

    I did recently finish Before the Fall.. about the historical development of the A-Bomb - (from Marie Curie onward!) which was very well researched, and quite literate.

    Squadron of Deception arrived in the mail last week and I am looking forward to tucking into it as soon as possible.

  7. This is extremely impressive. I'd love to be a part of something like this. However, I'd take it apart, have a pile of pieces for the rest of my life instead of a plane. Then if I ever did put it together again I'd have a shed full of leftover pieces.

  8. A guy and his wife were speeding down the highway when a cop pulls him over. The man says, "What's the problem officer?

    Officer: "You were going at least 130 in a 100 zone."

    Man: "No sir, I was going 110."

    Wife: "Oh Harry, you were going 140." Man gives his wife a dirty look.

    Officer: "I will also give you a ticket for your broken tail light."

    Man: "Broken tail light? I didn't know about a broken tail light"

    Wife: "Oh Harry, you've known about that tail light for months." Man gives his wife a dirty look.

    Officer: "I will also give you a citation for not wearing your seat belt."

    Man: "Oh, I just took it off when you were walking up to the car."

    Wife: "Oh Harry, you never wear your seat belt."

    Man turns to his wife and yells, "Bitch, shut your damn mouth"

    The Officer turns to the woman and says, "Ma'm does your husband talk to you this way all the time??

    Wife says, "No, only when he's drunk."

  9. This is a clip from an actual WW2 USN training film that I have in my collection.

    There are several points in the film that I think we all can take advantage of in performing interceptions. Particularly the cooperative aspects that the USN planes perform.

    Also if you think of yourself as the Japanese plane (I.E. on the defencive) there are also some maneuvers that could prove valuable.

    The film itself is kind of corny but it is instructive. Also I find the term Jap offencive, but consider the time it was made please.

    I converted it from video tape to DVD then into an avi file then in to wmv so that it would be small enough to download. It is 64 meg/23 minutes.
