Spinner,

The Hampden would be a nice addition indeed. Gibson's book gives a vivid description of many thrilling missions. The railway tunnels "sealing" on the two ends (possibly with the train inside ...) or the bombing of Goering's refinery come to my mind. Or, on a more spine-chilling tone, the ruthless mowing of a formation of Hampdens from point-blank range by Bf-110's, coldly exploiting their gunner's blind spot, and the last futile attempt of one of the ill-fated pilots to fire his revolver at his killer.

Bye,
Insuber
