The airfield I fly out of here in Queensland has a number of kangaroos. Usually they stay off the runways but I've heard of people having to go around because of them. A roo jumped in front of a landing RV7 once. It barely missed the prop, hit the leading edge of the wing with it's head and got knocked down. As it went down it's tail came up and hit the trailing edge of the flap damaging it considerably. The pilot had powered up to go around when he saw the roo jump in front and decided to continue. Fortunately the controllability of the plane didn't suffer and he was able to make a uneventful landing after a circuit. The roo? Got up and bounced away!

Here's a video I shot a couple of weeks ago at the airfield. Has some kangaroos too:

I know a guy who hit (and chopped up) a deer twice in his 200-odd hours of flying . The plane was repairable the first time, totaled the second time. I guess he was unlucky. I had near misses with birds 4-5 times (once the bird actually swooped on my C-150 ).

The Battle of Britain took place in the summer and autumn of 1940. The Fw 190 didn't come into service until mid 1941.

Thx for info, but very bad for me.

Strange though it may seem, no anachronism here.

Hecke if the "Luftbahnhof Bremen" could be included on the future BoB map then I could see you take the controls of this Versuchsmuster Fw 190V1.

As did Flugkapitän Hans Sander for her mainden flight on June 1st, 1939.

Well, if someone wants to fly an unarmed prototype with a faulty engine cooling system, that's fine by me.

Seriously, though, the plane set needs to be restricted to aircraft actually in service during the BoB, or it would get silly...

No doubt Fw 190s will appear later in the series - hopefully with a decent view forward this time...
