Thank you too.
I like the picture with all the research engineers/experts (most likely) on the plane. Maybe because they knew the Bf110 was from the German 'testing group 210' they did expect new stuff to see and rushed to the scene.

Ancestors of the Traffic Warden from 'Threads' maybe? (Seventh pic)
No, they had a short life. Too many losses over England and in April 41 they were renamed and sent to the east.
The Me262 had its own 'testing commando 262'.
Nah, but thanks. There are so many good sources online nowadays.
It's a small side effect of researching for WW2 flight simulations to create more or less historical correct missions and participating in the related forums. And the guys in these forums are 'rivet counters' par excellence and some are real experts.
Even the developers of the sims have a hard time with them

Very nice.
MUCH respect for the guy but he should be telling you guys to vote for a leadership that doesn't start pointless wars and abandons veterans when then can no longer serve a purpose.
