I've got some of the Hurri's and a couple of good ones from the B17/ M262's.
I'll get them up when I get 5. I'm pretty sure McKinney will have a good few too

Cool, cant wait.
Pitty I couldnt join the B17 / ME 262 flight.

I got some pics of the Hurrys but just havent had time to upload them.....

That would depend on where you were looking from.. actually it looked pretty good from where I was sat, inside a very on fire B-17. There was a point where you and Mcq flew down in between me and Gilly at very high speed and it looked really old school.. It was at this point I noticed one of my wings had come off... again..

Sad to say winny I have on photo the very moment McQ flamed you and whilst it's a great photo what really suprised me was the speed and effciency that they could take a 17 down! I was watching thinking oh bollox I'm gone next. Got to admit I was fairly confident that we'd have the upper hand when it came to shooting the jetset...... How wrong I was. Still I've some nice shots from the odd minute that we were all still intact!!

Yeah... That was one cool mission! The 262's really performs as "he-111" when used as they where designed for. To form up and dive full throttle down at the B-17's, closing in rolling, while guns blasting, was one beautifull treat. And seeing the bombers ignite was just the sight to make my night. That 262 is actually fast!
I guess the clue is to use the planes as they were intented to and were disigned for, as Shadowcorp says. Pitty though that the ammo were limited...

A very nice mission guys!

I'm canvassing opinion as to whether it's worth running a race tonight at 11pm gmt. We'll do Winnys Hawkinge, Dover to Manston route ( see map earlier in the thread if you don't know it). Let me know if anyone's up for it and I'll post here if there's enough interest.
