Original Message =========================================================== David, >Please pardon my omission of the ANZAC forces. If anything, that campaign >was theirs, and few have ever been as brave and gallant as they. Not really. British, French and Indian troops took part in the campaign as well and if I recall correctly the French, British and Indian numbers were greater than the number of ANZACs. Important as Gallipoli is to Australia and New Zealand it is a bit of a shame that the other nations, including Turkey, arent remembered as well in histories of that campaign. Australia was only 14 years past Federation ( self government ) and one myth is a nation doesnt come of age until it is blooded in battle. For Australia and New Zealand, Gallipoli was the being blooded or coming of age of the nations. ANZAC day from the first official one in 1919 in England to today, ranks as Australia's greatest day, greater even than Australia Day. If you ever get the chance, watch a parade in a major city on ANZAC Day and then wonder round the watering holes afterwards. A good page on the ANZACs in Gallipoli is Bryn Dolans page; http://surfline.ne.jp/3dolans/Anzac%20Pages/Index.html Another excellent site; http://www.lighthorse.org.au/ http://www.ake.quik.co.nz/phoar/ The AFC page has more AIF and ANZAC links off of it too. A funny story of ANZAC Day, in 1919 the King of England watched as a parade of AIF men marched down the main street of London, they gave the AFC planes to be a part of the parade. They spent the time dogfighting above London with each other. Finally Cobby in a Camel and Robertson in a Pup swooped down above the marching soldiers heads and then realized that they were stuck between the buildings and the telegraph wires above! They both had to fly at 25 feet until they got to Trafalger Square where they could get to get out from under the wires and climb again. Cobby mentions in his bio it was lucky that he was first, if the pup had of swooped down first he would have caught it in the faster Camel with nowhere to go. cam http://members.xoom.com/PointCook/index.htm ______________________________________________________________ Get Your Free E-mail and Homepage at http://www.prontomail.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2000 10:56:54 -0800 From: "Bob Pearson" To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: Future 3, Bob 1 Message-ID: <200002221912.LAA32468@mail.rapidnet.net> Tom sayeth in sagely tones . . . > Guess what??

By removing the last segment from the url you can view the entire site - lots of nice models, though little is on-topic. What amazes me is the modeller who did the Ilya. He has plenty of his models on display but, as far as I can tell, the only WWI model he has built was the Ilya. Think about it. If true, it boggles the mind.

I'm awaiting a response to your query as much as you are - I've been meaning to update the Airfix C.II for some time, but got stuck with the same problem as you have.

Scho (Physics Teacher.) http://www.ww1.org.uk >> Scho: It certainly doesn't happen here in the US, where the average high school student graduates with about a sixth-grade reading ability, if that. I would assume if physics at your school is not a required course, or that it is a school with some entrance requirements, that you are drawing from the upper half of the bell curve, where literacy is commonly expected at a competent level. Not too likely in the American system of public miseducation. If you really want to see how bad it gets, be a Story Editor saddled with directing a group of 20-nothing Ivy League graduates who claim to be "writers" who read less than 10 books a year!! I hadn't seen such butchering of the English language since Shakespeare's days when they were trying to figure out what English was. They couldn't even make sense of their spell checkers so that the wrong word-use was at least spelled right.

Kenneth Munson's Pioneer Aircraft 1903-14 has the following:- "Henry Coanda ....construction of a full size reaction propelled aeroplane............exhibited in Paris in October 1910. A 4 cylinder Clerget inline engine was mounted high in front of the pilot's seat, with multiple gears driving a centrifugal air compressor in the extreme nose. The fan was enclosed in a truncated conical fairing with an adjustable diaphragm at the front to regulate the air entry...........it is virtually certain that the aircraft never flew...... The suggestion, once made quite seriously, that it flew as a petrol burning jet, can be dismissed simply by considering the location of the pilot in relation to the 'jet' efflux."

I place a washcloth over the warm spot, put the model on the washcloth and a small box over the model. Presto. One very dry model in the morning. BTW, Tech Support is one very happy computer person this week. I got her a DSL line for her computer. Now she has a rocket ship and I have the slug. Wait a minute! I think I slipped up somewhere. She did say she would network the two together. That is one fast system.
